•
- failure to develop peer relationships
•
- lack of social or emotional reciprocity

• Excessive fear when separated from a

• Refusal to stay away from home overnight
• Multiple physical complaints such as
headaches & stomach aches
• School refusal
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
• 2-3 children in every 100 suffer from OSA
• OSA disrupts sleep. Children who have OSA may feel
tired in the day, may have problems with learning,
behaviour and/or medical problems.
• Sleep disturbances affect the pre-frontal cortex, the part
of the brain that regulates emotions and behaviour.
• Evidence suggests that lack of sleep or impaired sleep
quality is strongly linked to behavioural disorders in
children, such as increased aggression and conduct
problems.
• Abstract thinking, creativity and verbal fluency are also
affected by sleep deprivation.
• Sleep Apnea 1

Pervasive Development Disorder
Between 2 to 6 children per 1,000 children (from 1 in 500 to 1 in 150) have
some form of autism/PDD
Some or all of the following characteristics may be observed in mild to
severe forms:
• Communication problems (e.g., using and understanding language);
• Difficulty relating to people, objects, and events;
• Unusual play with toys and other objects;
• Difficulty with changes in routine or familiar surroundings; and
• Repetitive body movements or behaviour patterns.
•
Children with autism or PDD vary widely in abilities, intelligence, and
behaviours. Some children do not speak; others have language that often
includes repeated phrases or conversations. Children with more advanced
language skills tend to use a small range of topics and have difficulty with
abstract concepts. Repetitive play skills, a limited range of interests, and
impaired social skills are generally evident as well. Unusual responses to
sensory information—for example, loud noises, lights, certain textures of
food or fabrics—are also common.
