Programs designated as the gateway to access a community-wide, coordinated network of organizations that provide an assessment of the needs of people with developmental disabilities and their families who are seeking assistance and refer them to local organizations that provide the services and supports they need.

A neurodevelopmental and communication disorder that is present at birth and affects a child's ability to learn, understand and formulate both spoken and written language.

| Developmental Screening |
LF-7000.1730 |
Programs that offer a procedure that is designed to identify children who should receive more intensive assessment or diagnosis for potential developmental delays. Screening tools can be specific to a disorder (e.g., autism), an area (e.g., cognitive development, language, or gross motor skills), or they may be general, encompassing multiple areas of concern; and rely heavily on parent observation. They do not provide conclusive evidence of developmental delays and do not result in diagnoses. A positive screening result should be followed by a thorough assessment. The goal of developmental screening is to allow for earlier detection of delays in order to improve child health and well-being for identified children. |

| Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics |
LV-6800.1800 |
Programs that are staffed by specialists who provide comprehensive care from infancy through young adulthood for individuals with learning disorders; attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and associated conditions; autism spectrum disorders; tics, Tourette syndrome, and other habit disorders; regulatory disorders such as sleep disorders, feeding problems, discipline difficulties, complicated toilet-training issues, enuresis (bedwetting), and encopresis (soiling); developmental disabilities; delayed development in speech, language, motor skills and thinking ability; or behavioral and developmental problems that complicate other pediatric chronic illnesses and disabling conditions. |

| Diabetes |
YF-3000.2440 |
A disorder in which the pancreas produces too little insulin with the result that the body is unable to adequately metabolize sugar. Principal symptoms are elevated blood sugar, sugar in the urine, excessive urine production and increased food intake. Complications of diabetes if left untreated include low resistance to infections leading to a susceptibility to gangrene, cardiovascular and kidney disorders, disturbances in the electrolyte balance and eye disorders, some of which may lead to blindness. |

| Diabetes Management Clinics |
LT-1750.1750 |
Programs that help people of all ages who have juvenile or adult diabetes understand and manage their illness. Services may include screening programs for early identification of the condition and associated complications; establishment of a treatment regimen; patient education; and self-management skills development assistance which may focus on use of insulin and drugs to control blood sugar levels, blood glucose monitoring, dietary management in different environments (at home, at work, in school, while dining out), menu planning, the role of exercise in relation to food intake, hygienic measures such as foot care and ways to reduce the likelihood of diabetes-related complications which may include heart disease, kidney failure, amputation, nerve damage and blindness. Included are programs that provide comprehensive preventive, diagnostic and treatment services on an inpatient or outpatient basis as well as less formal programs that emphasize education and may provide any combination of supportive services such as case management, assistance in obtaining needed products and services, and assistance in following the prescribed treatment regimen. Diabetes is a chronic, incurable disease in which the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin to allow the body to adequately metabolize sugar. |

The focus of the group sessions is on learning and practicing adaptive skills that are particularly relevant to the problems experienced by people with BPD. While originally developed for this population, dialectical behavior therapy has been used with people who have other types of emotional disorders. |
