Developmental Disability (Source: Florida Developmental Disabilities Council)
bullet

A developmental disability is a chronic condition that significantly limits a person's ability to speak, hear, see, walk, learn, or perform fundamental tasks involved in providing self-care, living independently, or earning a living. The majority of people with developmental disabilities have more than one disability, and most have disabling conditions that are intellectual or emotional in nature.

Because their disabilities restrict their communication, mobility, and ability to take care of themselves, people with developmental disabilities may rely on assistance from others. To help meet these needs, federal, state, and local agencies provide health care, vocational training, and service coordination to people with developmental disabilities and their families.
