There are so many different illnesses and conditions covered under the term "Special Needs" that determining your child's particular diagnosis can be an overwhelming obstacle.
The following breakdown and explanation of the various categories of Special Needs conditions and syndromes may be helpful.
Behavioral : This includes such conditions as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and Tourett's syndrome which is a neurological disorder causing repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations. There are also children who have ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) which causes the child to become excessively non-compliant and aggressive. Children Diagnosed with ODD are unresponsive to traditional discipline. Parent's can attend formal parent training programs to learn successful strategies to manage and motivate their child.
Developmental : Autism which affects a child's social interaction, language skills and behavior. While a diagnosis of Down syndrome or mental retardation is devastating to parents, our understanding has grown substantially and there are several resources available for assistance and information. Individuals with these conditions can lead full and happy lives, attend school, and eventually marry and have families of their own.
Learning : Dyslexia can cause self-esteem and behavioral problems and requires special learning techniques. It's important for parents and teachers to work together with the child to achieve a successful outcome. Children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder have trouble paying attention, remembering verbal instructions and following multi-step directions when given orally. They perform tasks much better in quiet environments and with written or visual instruction.
Medical : Medical ailments can include diabetes, cancer, heart defects, asthma, epilepsy or seizure disorders, vision or hearing impaired children, and various food allergies. Each has its own risks and limitations and all proper care must be provided with the assistance of appropriate doctor care.
