    Study Notes

    Neurodevelopmental Disorders

    • Conditions starting in childhood, often before school
    • Result from differences/delays in brain development
    • Impact personal, social, academic, and occupational functioning
    • Challenges can range from specific skill difficulties to broader social/thinking issues

    Specifiers for Diagnosis

    • Severity: Some disorders (e.g., intellectual developmental disorder, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD) have severity levels, indicating symptom impact and support needs.
    • Current Symptoms: Specifiers for disorders like ADHD and tics detail current symptom presentation, which aids in tracking disorder evolution.
    • Associated Medical/Environmental Factors: Factors like genetic conditions, medical issues, or environmental exposures (toxins) are noted for some disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder) to understand potential causes and treatment impact.

    Intellectual Developmental Disorder (Intellectual Disability)

    • Onset during developmental period
    • Involves intellectual skills (reasoning, problem-solving, learning) and adaptive functioning (everyday living skills)
    • Diagnosis based on clinical assessment, standardized intellectual tests, and standardized adaptive functioning tests
    • Deficits in conceptual, social, and practical domains are required
    • Three criteria needed:
      • Deficit in intellectual functioning: Difficulty with reasoning, problem-solving, planning, judgment, learning in school/everyday life.
      • Problems with adaptive functioning: Struggles with independence in communication, social interaction, independent living, and community participation.
      • Onset during developmental period: Deficits must start during childhood/adolescence.

    Types of Intellectual Disability

    • Mild: Academic skills up to 6th-grade level, minimal support for complex tasks.
    • Moderate: Academic skills at elementary level, limited progress in reading, writing, math. Significant daily support needed.
    • Severe: Little understanding of academic/symbolic concepts; extensive caregiver support.
    • Profound: Extremely limited understanding of the world; reliant on caregivers.

    Global Developmental Delay (GDD)

    • For children under 5 who aren't meeting developmental milestones (learning, problem-solving, communication, motor skills)
    • Used when formal intellectual tests are not possible
    • Requires ongoing reassessment to determine if the child meets criteria for other conditions as they develop.

    Unspecified Intellectual Developmental Disorder (F79)

    • For individuals over 5 with intellectual delays, but assessment is difficult or impossible
    • Difficulties due to sensory impairments, physical disabilities, serious problem behaviors, or mental health issues.

    Communication Disorders

    • Difficulties with speech, language, or communication that significantly impact expression, understanding or interaction.

    Speech Sound Disorder (SSD)

    • Difficulties with speech sound production due to issues with articulation (sound clarity), phonological knowledge (understanding speech sounds), or motor coordination of articulators
    • Impacts social, academic, and occupational functioning
    • Not due to hearing or other sensory issues, motor difficulties, or other medical conditions

    Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder (Stuttering)

    • Difficulty with speech flow and rhythm
    • Repetitive sounds, prolongations, broken words, blocking, or circumlocutions
    • Must start during early childhood/not in adulthood
    • Not due to neurological damage
