Genetic Disorders

What Are Genetic Disorders?

Genetic disorders are conditions caused by changes or abnormalities in a person’s DNA. These may be inherited from one or both parents or occur spontaneously. The specific challenges depend on the type of disorder, but often include a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional developmental differences.

How Genetic Disorders May Impact Daily Life

Receiving a diagnosis of a genetic disorder can feel overwhelming, especially when families are told there may be limited options for improvement. Each child is unique, but common challenges may include:
✔ Delayed physical development (e.g., muscle tone, coordination)
✔ Cognitive and learning difficulties
✔ Delayed speech or language acquisition
✔ Emotional or behavioral regulation challenges
✔ Limited independence in daily tasks

Traditional therapies often focus on what a child cannot do. At MoveAbilities®, we offer a different approach—one that begins with possibility and respects each child's unique path to learning.
