Chronic condition is an "umbrella" term. Children with chronic illnesses may be ill or well at any given time, but they are always living with their condition. Some examples of chronic conditions include (
but are not limited to):
-
Asthma (the most common) -
Diabetes -
Cerebral palsy -

Cystic fibrosis -
Cancer -
AIDS -
Epilepsy -

Developmental Screenings

Monitor the child’s development at each visit. -
Periodically screen children with validated tools to identify any areas of concern that may require a further examination or evaluation. -
