Common Misconceptions About Developmental Disabilities

The commonest misconceptions about developmental disabilities are that they stem from parenting or vaccines, that they are rare, curable or outgrown, that they indicate low intelligence, and that a diagnosis caps a child's potential. In reality they are common, neurodevelopmental, lifelong but highly responsive to support, and compatible with capable lives. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment.
