Neuromotor Disorders
Neuromotor Impairments- When parents suspect that their child is not typically developing or their child has low motor function then families need to share their concerns with their child’s pediatrician for a diagnosis. If symptoms are ignored then a lack of diagnosis and intervention can severely affect a child’s quality of life ( Other neuromotor disorders include spinal bifida and spinal cord injuries).
Orthopedic impairment is defined by the Ohio Department of Education as a severe orthopedic impairment that adversely affects a child's educational performance. The term includes impairments caused by congenital anomaly (e.g., clubfoot, absence of some member, etc.), impairments caused by disease (e.g., poliomyelitis, bone tuberculosis, etc.), and impairments from other causes (e.g., cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or burns that cause contractures).
