Study Notes
Intellectual Disability (ID)
- Intellectual Disability (ID) is characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior.
- Severity levels of ID are classified as mild, moderate, severe, and profound based on the DSM-5.
- Mild Intellectual Disability is diagnosed when an individual has an IQ typically between 50-70 and demonstrates challenges in adaptive functioning and skills development.
- The term "Mental Retardation" has been replaced with Intellectual Disability in the DSM-5 to reduce stigma and emphasize a focus on adaptive functioning.
- Diagnosis of ID incorporates both IQ tests and assessment of adaptive behavior, contrasting earlier definitions focusing exclusively on IQ.
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders are primarily characterized by developmental deficits that produce impairments in personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning.
- Such disorders are typically diagnosed in early childhood, as symptoms significantly impact development and functioning.
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is an example of a disorder that directly relates to neurological function and brain performance in children.
- Conditions like childhood-onset schizophrenia are categorized as Neurocognitive Disorders, distinguishing them from Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
Professional Therapy
- Professional therapies for treating neurodevelopmental disabilities include behavioral therapies, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, but certain unproven or alternative therapies are not part of standard practice.
Disorders Classification
- Common Neurodevelopmental Disorders include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and specific learning disorders, whereas Neurocognitive Disorders encompass conditions like Dementia.
