ABSTRACT

Nursing management of a child with autism which a developmental compromise involves a holistic approach to address the physical, emotional, and social needs of the child and their family. Developmental compromise can result from various factors, such as congenital conditions, neurological disorders, or environmental influences. Here are some key aspects of nursing management for a developmentally compromised child some of the issues most commonly labeled as developmental disabilities include intellectual disabilities (low IQ), autism, and cerebral palsy. Nurses need to be empowered taking care of the developmentally challenged children as they have much more challenges than a normal child and the family as well face issues in different domains. Nurses playing a key role in the health care team can make the hospitalization experiences pleasant to the children and families and also provide continued support through adequate follow up care.
