Study Notes

Disorders of Intellectual Development

ICD-11 Classifications:
- Mild Disorder (6A00.0): Functioning two to three standard deviations below the mean; individuals face challenges with complex language and academic skills, typically achieve independent living with support.
- Moderate Disorder (6A00.1): Functioning three to four standard deviations below the mean; language and academic skills are generally limited, and considerable support is needed for independent living.
- Severe Disorder (6A00.2): Functioning at four or more standard deviations below the mean; very limited language skills, requires daily support and supervision, can develop basic self-care skills with intensive training.
- Profound Disorder (6A00.3): Similar functioning level as severe, with extremely limited communication and co-occurring motor/sensory impairments. Requires daily rigorous support.

Developmental Delay

Definition: Significant delays in reaching developmental milestones compared to peers; applicable for children under age five when severity is hard to evaluate.
Global Developmental Delay: Delay in at least two developmental domains including motor skills, speech, cognition, and daily living activities.

Diagnostic Criteria

Global Developmental Delay: Identified when there is at least a 2 standard deviation delay in two or more functional areas.
Intellectual Disability Terminology: The term “intellectual disability” replaced “mental retardation” in DSM-5, emphasizing a broader understanding of cognitive functioning.

Prevalence and Comorbidity

Developmental Disorders: Approximately 5 to 16% of children have developmental disorders globally.
Intellectual Disability in Hong Kong: Estimated 71,000 to 101,000 individuals, equating to a prevalence of 1.0% to 1.4%.
Common Comorbidities: Include genetic disorders (e.g., Down syndrome, Fragile-X syndrome), developmental speech/language disorders, and various syndromes.

Assessment Techniques

Diagnostic Tools:
- Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC): Assesses various intelligence aspects for children aged 6 to 16.
- Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS): Prevalent IQ test for adults, measuring verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.
- Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales: Evaluates adaptive behavior in areas like communication, daily living, and social skills.

Functioning Deficits

Intellectual Functioning Deficits: Impairments in reasoning, problem-solving, planning, abstract thinking, judgment, and academic learning.
Adaptive Functioning Deficits: Challenges in communication, social skills, personal independence, and overall school/work functioning.

Support Framework

Support for People with ID: Emphasizes respect for individuals' feelings, strengths, and weaknesses. Consistent support improves their integration into society.
