Presentation Explaining Physical, Language, Cognitive, and Psychosocial Development of Children With ID

Interventions need to be sought out for many areas of the life of an ID student, but these in particular:

- What type of classroom will my child best excel in?
- What activities will my ID student perform well at and how can the parent promote those activities?
- Socially, under what conditions will my child best it, and what conditions?
- What are some intervention methods to help my ID child improve his or her social skills?
