What does DVD mean in HOSPITALS

Symptoms of DVD vary depending on how severe it is, but typically include difficulty producing clear speech, difficulty controlling volume and pitch when speaking, difficulty understanding language structure, trouble stringing words together in order to form sentences, and difficulty with nonverbal forms of communication such as signing and gesturing.

Diagnosis for DVD can be done through a physical exam where doctors assess your child's oral motor skills as well as an assessment of their speech based on a series of tests that measure various aspects of their language development. Your doctor may also ask questions about your child's development history in order to better understand if they could have any underlying conditions that might be causing their difficulties with speech.

Treatment for DVD typically includes a combination of therapies such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and/or psychological counseling. During these sessions your child will work with professionals who specialize in helping them improve their communication skills by focusing on areas such as pronunciation and vocal production. Additionally, the use of technology such as computer-aided instruction or talking devices may also be used to help those affected by DVD communicate more effectively.

While there currently isn't a cure for DVD, there are many effective treatments available which can help improve communication skills if they are given enough time and focus. By providing support in terms of both therapy sessions as well as tools such at talking devices or computer-aided instruction, those affected by this condition can experience significant improvements over time which can make daily life much easier for them and those around them.

Children living with DVD may experience feelings of frustration due to the fact that they are unable to express themselves verbally like other children their age. This can lead to social problems due to feelings associated with being “different” or being misunderstood when trying to communicate with others. It can also lead to academic challenges because it can be difficult for them to comprehend material that is presented verbally in class or on tests if they struggle with decoding language structure or finding the right words quickly enough. In addition, due to the physical nature of speaking someone affected by this condition may suffer from fatigue after extended periods spent trying to interact verbally.
