Having a disability does not mean a person is not healthy or that he or she cannot be healthy. Children and adults with disabilities need health care and health programs for the same reasons anyone else does—to stay well, active, and to be a part of the community.
Some health conditions, such as asthma, convulsions. gastrointestinal symptoms, eczema and skin allergies, and migraine headaches have been found to be more common among children with developmental disabilities. Thus, it is especially important for children with developmental disabilities to see a health care provider regularly.
