This could result in premature birth and low birth weight which can then lead to a slower development rate. ● Disability A child in a wheelchair or with a serious physical impairment would find it hard to do many activities, particularly those that are physically demanding. Gross motor skills would be at a less developed rate than peers and fine motor skills may be affected if the child had little or no control over their limbs.

Dementia which begins gradually and worsens progressively over several years is usually caused by neurodegenerative disease that is, by conditions affecting only or primarily the neurons of the brain and causing gradual but irreversible loss of function of these cells. Less commonly, a non-degenerative condition may have secondary effects on brain cells, which may or may not be reversible if the condition is treated. The causes of dementia depend on the age at which symptoms begin. In the elderly population, a large majority of cases of dementia are caused by Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia or both. It is rare to have dementia in young people 1.2 Describe the types of memory impairment commonly experienced by individuals with dementia.

Early onset some babies seem to be born with autism and do not develop the typical eye contact and social interaction that should began during the first few months of life. They do not start babbling by nine months and don’t go on to develop language during the second year of life. Fragile X syndrome this disorder is associated with a faulty X chromosome.

Asperger’s Syndrome, children with this condition are considered a mild form of autism, have consuming interest in, or obsession with one subject often something unusual for their age.
