The degree of impairment to the child's ability to develop should be taken into account as chronic health problems can impact a child's physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. The ability of the family to pay for expensive equipment, recreational activities, and special needs "camp" placement may also be important, but these factors are not as crucial as assessing the child's level of impairment.
