developmental problems Differential Diagnosis
• Motor
o Problems with CNS (e.g., Cerebral palsy)
o Problems with PNS (e.g., Muscular dystrophy)
o Metabolic conditions (e.g., Hypothyroidism)
o Genetic syndromes (e.g., Down Syndrome)
• Language
o Structural/functional abnormalities of oromotor anatomy
o Hearing impairment
o Pure language disorders
o Pervasive developmental disorders (e.g., Autism Spectrum
Disorder)
• Cognitive
o Global developmental delay due to:
- Genetic conditions (e.g., Fragile X)
- Deprived environment
- Prenatal/perinatal events leading to brain anoxia/ischemia
(rare)
- Prenatal exposures (e.g., Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders)
• Emotional/Social
o Pervasive developmental disorders (e.g., Autism Spectrum
Disorder)
o Deprived environment

intelligence
o Refer to Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy
