Which condition is classified as a developmental disability?

While speech disorders can affect communication abilities, they are not classified as developmental disabilities on their own. Speech disorders can arise from a variety of causes, including hearing loss or psychological factors, and do not necessarily indicate a broader developmental impairment or delay in other areas of functioning.

Chronic anxiety is primarily a mental health condition characterized by excessive worry and fear, rather than a developmental disability. While it can impact a person's functioning, it does not originate from developmental issues during childhood and is typically treated as a psychological disorder instead.

Allergic asthma is a respiratory condition triggered by allergens and does not fall under the category of developmental disabilities. Although it can affect physical health and daily activities, it is primarily a medical condition related to the immune system rather than a developmental issue involving cognitive or physical growth.
