Psychosomatic Symptoms among Children and Adolescents and Developmental Disabilities

Abstract

Psychosomatic symptoms and developmental problems are prevalent among children with developmental disabilities, because they cannot verbalize their feelings and tend to express them by physical symptoms. Their symptoms are often due to maladjustment of their developmental characteristics to the surrounding environment. To solve their psychosomatic and behavioral problems, we should know about the features of their development and recognition. Then we should cooperate with school teachers and ask them for consideration according to the developmental characteristics of children.
