Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2011 Mar;72(3):161-2, 164-7. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2011.72.3.161.

Abstract

Developmental disorders commonly overlap and, rather than being discrete conditions, are on a continuum. Given the evidence for this it is proposed that clinical services need to develop integrated approaches and pathways, working with education as this has potentially positive time, cost and quality outcomes.
