While the childdevdelays group's main focus is on developmental delays, we also recognize that other special needs are present in our families. For instance, Sensory Integration Dysfunction (SID) is often seen with developmental delays. ADHD is also a common diagnosis with some of our kids. So, although ADHD, SID, autism and other issues are not necessarily developmental delays, you will find information about them here.
