1029.8.61.19R6. Impairments and mental function disabilities are not presumed to substantially limit the performance of life habits of a child before the beginning of diagnostic intervention, or if they affect a function that is not yet developed in a healthy child.
If a child’s state of health can be improved by a therapeutic intervention, recognized by the scientific community, the extent of the child’s limitations in performing the life habits of a child of his or her age is assessed once the treatment is implemented.
If required for assessing a premature infant’s condition, the age of the infant is adjusted by subtracting the number of weeks of prematurity.
