(3) individuals whose disabilities occur during their developmental period frequently have severe disabilities that are likely to continue indefinitely;
(4) individuals with developmental disabilities often encounter discrimination in the provision of critical services, such as services in the areas of emphasis (as defined in [section 15002 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section15002&num=0&edition=prelim));
