Defining the Diagnosis

Learning about developmental delay and intellectual disability will give you the tools to better understand and support your child. This knowledge will also help you build a proactive partnership with your child’s medical and educational team to build a plan of care.

Understanding My Child’s Future

Individuals with developmental delay (DD) and intellectual disability (ID) can lead fulfilling lives. With the right preparation, many individuals with ID can attend school, live independently, work in their communities, and show us their unique perspective and experience of the world.

Taking Care of Yourself

While you are trying to give all the attention to address your child’s needs, it is important to remember to take good care of yourself. Maintaining your own health will give you the strength to better support your child. A few ways to maintain your wellbeing may include: practicing mindfulness, exercising, spending time with your other children, spouse and friends, and taking time for yourself.

Processing the Diagnosis

After learning that your child has DD/ID you will have questions about the diagnosis, your next steps and what your child’s future may look like.
