DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

Since there are many types of developmental disabilities, the nature of each person and their surrounding life is the focus.

Research and my own experience show that counseling can be helpful (not curing the disability, but helping the person and their family and social systems to function better, thus live a healthier, happier life). 

Often, counseling methods need to be adjusted, using more examples, art, hands-on activities, and active social skills-building methods. Of course, supporting families and often schools are an important aspect of such counseling as well.
