The three risk factors include (1) established risk, (2) biological risk, and (3) environmental risk. Established risk refers to a child born with a diagnosed medical disorder of known cause and that has a predictable prognosis. An example would be a child born with Down syndrome, spina bifida, or cerebral palsy. A biological risk refers to children born with pre-, peri-, or postnatal conditions that carry a high risk of leading to difficulty or disability. An example would be a child born premature or underweight or a child born with complications such as diabetes or HIV. An environmental risk refers to children with difficult life experiences and/or living conditions. An example would be a child being born to a teenage mother who lives in poverty and abuses substances.
