Developmental Disorders are long-term conditions that often present themselves in early childhood, and often affect their ability to take part in activities of daily living, as well as in their personal, academic, and social lives.
These include conditions such as intellectual disabilities, motor disorders, learning disorders, communication disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Oftentimes, these disorders require life support, so it is vital to identify these signs and symptoms early on to begin therapy.
As a parent, you can look out for signs of Developmental Disorders if your child is unable to meet developmental milestones and struggle with mobility, speech, playing and learning. Some children may also face issues with communication skills and behavior.
But it’s important to remember that each child is unique, so it’s not always a sign of concern. If you are unsure of whether your child requires help, reach out to the professionals at Plexus.

“My son has been suffering from developmental challenges due to Autism for the last seven years. We have visited several hospitals for his treatment, but have been mostly disappointed. When we came to Plexus, Dr Na'eem Sadiq and his team created a tailored treatment plan, using a combination of developmental therapies, medication, and skills training wherever necessary. His condition has improved and we are very happy with the results.”
