Abstract

Despite the relatively high prevalence (5~10%) of developmental disability, the early identification for such problems remains difficult. Doctors who care children with developmental delay tried to find out these disorders as early as possible in order to apply an early intervention and reduce the long-term disabilities among them. Identification of a delayed young child by routine out-patient's clinic mandates a careful search for an underlying etiology. This article discusses the available approaches for the infants and young children with various kinds of developmental disabilities, according to the parent's chief complaints including 'unable to walk', 'unable to speak', 'unable to control temper', and 'unable to contact his or her eyes'.
