Developmental disabilities are a group of conditions—such as autism, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, and Down syndrome—that arise during the developmental period and cause impairments in physical, learning, language, or behavioral areas. Professionals in special education, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and social work specialize in assessing and supporting individuals with these conditions across their lifespan.
