Neurodevelopmental Delays

Students showing neurodevelopmental delay have an underdeveloped nervous and reflex system causing motor and visual skills challenges, hand-eye coordination problems and perceptual skills. These can lead to frustration, hyperactivity, stress, hypersensitivity and, later on, emotional problems. These problems can affect the child's physical capabilities, learning, coordination and behavior. If the problem persists to adulthood, symptoms can include agoraphobia, excessive reaction to stimuli, anxiety, panic attacks, difficulty making decisions and poor self-esteem.
