Discapacidad y atención temprana en la infancia

Abstract

Disability during childhood is not an exceptional problem, but its repercussions at these early ages are more dramatic, not only because they seriously affect the psychosocial development of children, but also because they alter an organism that is developing. Disability can be sensorial (visual or hearing), motor disability (brain paralysis) and intellectual (mental retardation). If not cared for at an early stage, it may affect other systems which were initially unimpaired.
