Developmental disorders describe a wide range of conditions such as learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, intellectual disabilities, and Cerebral Palsy. Often diagnosed in children, many counseling interventions can help with developmental disorders. Occupational, speech, and language therapies and motor skills training can be helpful for children with these concerns.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions often include the parents or entire family to work on integrating activities, skills, and techniques that work to help the child function more efficiently. Parents may require more intensive counseling to deal with the potential difficulties of raising a differently-abled child.
A broad approach with many options is best for children diagnosed with a developmental disorder so the therapist and family can develop a treatment plan that works best for the individual child.

September 28th - I am not currently taking any new clients at this time. Children and adolescents often communicate their feelings and needs in some really confusing ways. Sometimes they and their families just need help to better understand what they are trying to say, to learn more constructive ways in which to express themselves, and for everyone in the family to learn more constructive ways...
Growing up I always knew I wanted to help people. I was always the friend that people would joke and call mom when we were hanging out because I always looked out for everyone.

They have the desire to move forward and live a fulfilled life, but fe...
