Developmental Disorder Stem Cell Treatments

Developmental Disorder Stem Cell Treatment: Developmental disorder or developmental disability means a severe, chronic disability of an individual who has a mental or physical impairment by the age of 22 which is likely to continue indefinitely and results in substantial functional limitations in three or more areas of major life activity.

Developmental Disorder Stem Cell Therapy

Developmental delay is defined as failure to meet expected developmental milestones in one or more of the following areas: physical, social, emotional, intellectual, speech and language and/or adaptive development (sometimes called self-help skills, which include dressing, toileting, feeding, etc).

These delays are diagnosed when a child performs approximately 25 to 30 percent below age norms in one or more of these areas (with adjustment for prematurity in affected children). Progress occurs at a slower than expected rate following the anticipated sequence. Various medical and environmental causes exist.

Some examples of physical or mental disorders likely to result in delayed development are:

  • Chromosomal abnormalities
  • Genetic or congenital disorders
  • Severe sensory impairments, including hearing and vision
  • Inborn errors of metabolism
  • Disorders reflecting disturbance of the development of the nervous system
  • Congenital infections
  • Disorders secondary to exposure to toxic substances, including fetal alcohol syndrome.

The verification of delay is obtained through an evaluation process, which includes at least three of the following: informed clinical opinion to include observational assessment, standardised development test(s), developmental inventory, behavioural checklist, adaptive behaviour measure and parent interview. Developmental delay can occur temporarily, or it can be long-term and never fully resolve.
