Other names for cognitive developmental delays include intellectual disabilities, cognitive impairment, or cognitive/intellectual disorder.

Weak Oral Muscles :- A weak tongue makes it hard to push food around the mouth while eating. Drooling also can be a problem associated with low muscle tone. Weak muscles can affect a child's gag reflex or cause a child to choke, which makes eating unpleasant, creating a feeding disorder.

Autism :- Autism spectrum disorder impacts the nervous system and affects the overall cognitive, emotional, social and physical health of the affected individual.The range and severity of symptoms can vary widely. Common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviors. Early recognition, as well as behavioral, educational and family therapies may reduce symptoms and support development and learning.

Articulation Problem :- A child with an articulation disorder has problems forming speech sounds properly. A child with a phonological disorder can produce the sounds correctly, but may use them in the wrong place. When young children are growing, they develop speech sounds in a predictable order.

Fluency Disorder :- The exact causes of fluency disorders are not known. It may be genetic and run in families. It can happen at the same time as another speech disorder. The signs of a fluency disorder can be made worse by emotions such as stress or anxiety.

Feeding and Swallowing Disorders :- A feeding disorder refers to problems in the development of feeding skills, such as sucking from breast or bottle, eating from a spoon, chewing, or drinking from a cup, while a swallowing disorder, or dysphagia, refers to problems in one or more phases of the swallowing process.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) :- Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue.
