Congenital alterations originate before birth, although some are identified later. It is a broad term and does not describe, by itself, how a person learns, communicates or develops.
When there are doubts about development, learning or autonomy, the starting point is to know their abilities, the day-to-day difficulties and the support they have.
What should be taken into account.
Learning and care
Which tasks are easy and which require help.
Communication and relations
How he expresses himself, understands and participates with others.
Daily autonomy
Routines, organisation and support for regular activities.
Emotional wellbeing
How you experience difficulties and what your environment needs to accompany you.
A person-centred assessment.
An individual assessment can help to sort out these questions. It is important to take into account the history of development, the available reports and the observations of the person and those accompanying it. Needs are not only deduced from a diagnostic label.
Psychological or neuropsychological care is considered in relation to the needs of each case and the medical follow-up that may be necessary.
Supports for the day to day.
Targets can be linked to specific situations: participating in an activity, following a routine or using a strategy that facilitates learning. Proposals must be tailored to each person and reviewed with their evolution.
Coordination with the family, educational establishment or other professionals can be useful when they are part of your day-to-day life.
