Hidden Disabilities

Sometimes, the more subtle the disability, the greater the misunderstanding. There are many types of developmental variation that can be relatively hidden but still cause significant impairment and distress. Many children have substantial problems with mood, anxiety, attention, executive function, learning, or social skills but these challenges may be undiagnosed, masked, or overshadowed by other issues. Your child may be below threshold for receiving services from school or other supports. Join Dr. Dan and other parents to discuss how to uncover these “under the radar” differences and what to do.
