Developmental Disorders in Children – Importance of Parent Training Interventions
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Childhood developmental disorders cause significant negative impact on the physical, intellectual and social-emotional development of an individual. Developmental disorders are common in pediatric practice and these children are more likely to have comorbid behavioral disorders than their typically developing counterparts. They are also at greater risk for academic stress due to scholastic backwardness. Intellectual developmental disorders, communication disorders, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning disorder are the common developmental disorders seen in children. The key interventions for the management of developmental disorders in children are parent training interventions. Early parent training interventions are essential for the reduction in the global prevalence and burden of childhood developmental disorders.
