Young children who have developmental delay, autism, or other neurodevelopmental conditions can have difficulties doing things in different areas of their life. What they can and cannot do is called their level of functioning. There are lots of assessment measures that aim to assess functioning.
Excessive production, secretion, and retention of abnormal mucus is a pathological feature of many obstructive airways diseases including asthma.
