What are Development Disorders?
Learn More About Developmental Disorders
Developmental disorders are a group of conditions whose onset occurs in the developmental period, and are characterized by developmental deficits such as specific learning limitations, lack of control of executive functioning, under-developed social skills, and impaired intelligence levels. Because of the developmental deficits associated with this group of disorders, a young person with a developmental disorder may often experience impairments in personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning and thus requiring therapy at a treatment center.
At our leading wilderness treatment center, we recognize how distressing it can be to face the many challenges that often accompany developmental disorders, and we have developed a unique therapy methodology that is specifically designed to overcome specific issues that may be affecting a young person’s emotional and psychological growth.
