This paper is the third in a series of four using the concepts introduced in the paper Child Psychiatry and Early Intervention: I. The Aggregate Burden of Suffering. This paper reviews the developmental disorders of childhood to set priorities for early intervention programs. This review discusses the prevalence, course, risk, early indicators, associated impairments, and responses to intervention. The specific developmental disorders, especially learning disabilities, have a significant impact on community resources. Since the developmental disorders are easily recognized among preschool children, early intervention is feasible. However, successful interventions have yet to be demonstrated. Priority should be given to the development of effective interventions. There is a great need for research studies on the effects and effectiveness of early intervention with these individuals.
本文是四篇系列论文中的第三篇，采用了《儿童精神病学与早期干预：I. 痛苦的总体负担》一文中介绍的概念。本文回顾了儿童发育障碍，为早期干预项目确定优先事项。本综述讨论了患病率、病程、风险、早期指标、相关损害以及对干预的反应。特定的发育障碍，尤其是学习障碍，对社区资源有重大影响。由于发育障碍在学龄前儿童中很容易被识别，早期干预是可行的。然而，尚未证明有成功的干预措施。应优先发展有效的干预措施。非常需要对这些个体进行早期干预的效果和有效性进行研究。
