Developmental disabilities are severe, chronic disabilities attributable


to mental and/or physical impairment which manifest in childhood and are
likely to continue indefinitely. They result in substantial limitations in
self-care, receptive and expressive language, learning, mobility,
self-direction, capacity for independent living, and/or economic
self-sufficiency. The following sites provide general information relating
to developmental disabilities; for additional resources, see our pages on
mental retardation and other specific disabilities.

programs, the ADD web site provides information about developmental
