A member asked:
How can you determine that your child's learning delays are not being caused by a health-related condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic testing: You can request a genetic evaluation to see if they are any chromosomal abnormalities or syndromes that are the cause of your child's developmental delays. Birth trauma or hypoxia may be a cause. Depending on the severity of the delays, you may choose to have some blood work done or possibly a metabolic workup as well.
