Overview

A Longitudinal Study of Function and Participation in Life Activities of Patients with Developmental Disabilities

Developmental Disabilities (DD) is defined as a group of neurodevelopmental issues, leading to significant lag in one or more areas (e.g. cognition, speech, motor, self-care and psychosocial function) for various reasons. On the basis of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health -Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY) framework, problems related to Developmental Disabilities further limit activities of daily living (ADL) and participation of patients.
