Prevention

Not all developmental disabilities can be prevented. Some measures that
people can take, however, to lower their risk of having a child with developmental
disabilities include:
  • Genetic screening for both parents, particularly if either father or
    mother comes from a family with a history of genetic disorders
  • Proper nutrition and health care for the mother during pregnancy
  • Avoidance of drinking, smoking, and drug use during pregnancy
  • Vaccination against rubella before pregnancy if the mother has not
    been exposed to it
