Conditions, Syndromes & Disorders
Children may face various developmental, neurological, psychological, and behavioural challenges that impact their growth and daily life. At Future Wings Clinic, Delhi, we provide a comprehensive overview of conditions, syndromes, and disorders commonly affecting children, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Learning Disabilities, and Speech and Language Disorders. This section is designed to help parents identify early signs, understand their child’s needs, and seek appropriate interventions.

Autism & Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
First of all, Autism is not a disease, it is a developmental and neurological condition affecting communication, social interaction, and behaviour. Children with ASD often have unique strengths and challenges.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a brain condition characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that impact daily activities, functioning and academic performance.
Global Developmental Delays
GDD is a condition where the child’s growth is delayed in some areas of development, like the acquisition of skills such as motor skills, speech, and cognition, often affecting multiple areas of development.
Premature Infants
Babies born before 37 weeks of gestation may have neurological challenges related to growth, development, and health, requiring specialized care.
Asperger Syndrome
A form of autism spectrum disorder, but with milder symptoms, that includes challenges in social interactions and restricted interests, while maintaining normal cognitive development.
Sensory Processing Disorders
Difficulty in processing and responding to sensory information like sight, smile, sounds and textures, which can cause confusion or distress in everyday situations.
Learning Disabilities (e.g., Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia)
Disorders that affect specific skills like reading, writing, math, motor coordination, and handwriting, despite normal intelligence.
Intellectual Disabilities
Below-average intellectual functioning that affects adaptive behavior, impacting everyday life skills and social interactions.
Down Syndrome
A genetic disorder caused by an extra chromosome, leading to developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and physical characteristics such as a flat face and slanted eyes.
Rett’s Syndrome
A rare genetic disorder primarily affecting girls, causing loss of purposeful hand movements, speech, and motor skills after a period of normal development.
Cerebral Palsy
A group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone due to brain damage, often before or during birth, leading to varying degrees of physical and intellectual disabilities.
Physical Disabilities
Conditions that limit physical functioning, mobility, or dexterity, often requiring adaptive devices and therapy to improve independence.
Cleft Lip and Palate
A congenital condition where a child is born with a gap or split in the upper lip or palate, which can affect feeding, speech, and hearing.
Auditory Processing Disorders
Difficulty in processing and interpreting sounds, particularly in noisy environments, despite having normal hearing.
Spina Bifida
A birth defect where the spinal cord doesn’t develop properly, leading to varying levels of paralysis and mobility issues.
Hemiplegia, Hemiparesis
Conditions involving partial or complete paralysis of one side of the body, often due to brain injury or stroke.
Dyspraxia / Developmental Coordination Disorder
A disorder affecting motor coordination, leading to difficulties in performing everyday tasks, such as writing or dressing.
Traumatic Injuries
Physical injuries resulting from accidents or violence, potentially causing long-term mobility, cognitive, or emotional challenges.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
A mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, leading to anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional distress.
