Medication rarely ever just fixes the problem of developmental disorders so diagnoses is very important because it accurately described mental illnesses to lead to better treatments. Accurate diagnosis leads to children being referred to treatments that will assist development rather than a reliance on medications as the only answer.” In other words, awareness of the complexity of children is heightened. Which means shorter medical checks and evaluations are not enough to properly diagnose. So, the changes helps to recognize developmental, emotional and behavioral alignment, rather than simply a collection of symptoms and behaviors (Rogers Hospital, 2014).
