    Developmental Disabilities

    Developmental Disabilities are not a homogenous group. Each condition is unique in its biology and genetics, its formation and unique make up, and how these differences create unique behavioral phenotypes that predict certain behavioral tendencies. Learn the biological, genetic, and environment ways in which Development Disabilities occur. Examine typical pre- and post-natal development and a wide range of specific conditions and syndromes. Learn about what truly makes up the learners you support.
