Pediatric AIDS, developmental disabilities, and education: a review.
The increasing incidence and prevalence of pediatric HIV infection and associated morbidity suggest that HIV-related neurological impairments and concomitant developmental disabilities are likely to present major societal problems. This article reviews and discusses (a) issues associated with the variable course and multidetermined nature of the development of children with HIV and (b) contemporary education and policy issues associated with HIV-related developmental disabilities in children. Collaborative service delivery and case management are proposed for organizing social and educational responses to children with HIV and their families.
