DEVIATIONS FROM NORMAL POWER POINT PRESENTATION

deviations from normal growth and development

1. DEVIATIONS FROM NORMAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TYPES OF DEVIATIONS DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY : failure to reach expected milestones in one multiple developmental domains like motor skills, language, cognitive abilities, or social interaction. DEVELOPMENTAL REGRESSION: loss of previously acquired skills. GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY : significance loss across various developmental areas SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS: conditions like autism down syndrome, cerebral palsy or learning disabilities at specific aspects of development.

2. CAUSES OF DEVIATIONS. GENETIC FACTORS: chromosomal abnormalities, inherited conditions. PRENATAL FACTORS : Exposure to toxins during pregnancy, maternal health issues. PERINATAL FACTORS: complications during birth. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS : lack of stimulation, nutritional deficiencies, severe stress. MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Neurological disorders, sensory impairments.

3. MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES A. EARLY IDENTIFICATION AND SCREENING: Regular developmental monitoring by healthcare providers using standardizes screening tools to catch potential delays early. B. COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION : if concerns are identified, a through assessment by a developmental specialist to determine the specific areas of delay and underlying causes. C. INDIVIDUALIZED INTERVENTION PLANS: Tailored therapies and support based on the child’s needs. Which may include:

4. MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES 1. EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS: play based activities to promote development in various areas. 2. SPEECH THERAPY: Addressing language delays and communication challenges. 3. OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY: improving fine motor skills and daily living activities. 4. PHYSICAL THERAPY: enhancing gross motor skills. 5. BEHAVIORAL THERAPY: managing behavioural challenges.

5. MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES D. FAMILY INVOLVEMENT AND EDUCATION: Providing parents with information and strategies to support their child’s development at home. E. MEDICAL MANAGEMENT : Addressing any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to developmental delays.
