Underwriting children includes consideration of growth and development
factors. Impairments in children add to the complexity of risk classification
in a group with low anticipated levels of both morbidity and mortality.
Neurologic conditions are especially challenging as diagnoses may be
elusive, evolving, or even overlap with other disorders. An underwriting
approach to common childhood neurologic conditions will be discussed
including autistic spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, and seizure disorders. Traumatic brain injury and ischemic
strokes in children will also be covered.
