Study Notes
Intellectual Disability
- Defined by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) as a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior.
- Originates before age 18, and involves problems in adaptive behavior, not just intellectual functioning.
- Intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior can be improved.
Prevalence of Intellectual Disability
- Overall general population prevalence: approximately 1%.
- Prevalence for severe intellectual disability: approximately 6 per 1,000.
Classifications of Intellectual Disability
- Table adapted from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK332877/
- Example: Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) - an anomaly at the 21st pair of chromosomes.
Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support
- Systemic use of the science of behavior to support desirable behavior.
- Positive reinforcement (rewarding) procedures to support a student's appropriate behavior.
Learning Disabilities
- Defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as a disorder in one or more basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using language.
- May manifest in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations.
- Often diagnosed during school years, but some individuals may not receive an evaluation until post-secondary education or adulthood.
Prevalence of Learning Disabilities
- Public schools have identified between 5% to 6% of students between six and seventeen years of age as learning disabled.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Symptoms must be present in the early developmental period.
- Characteristics include:
- Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech.
- Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal behavior.
- Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus.
- Hyper- or hypo-reactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment.
- Level of severity classified by the DSM-V.
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Examples include intellectual disability, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, learning disabilities, conduct disorders, cerebral palsy, and impairments in vision and hearing.
- Typically manifest early in development, often before the child enters grade school.
- Characterized by developmental deficits that produce impairments of personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning.
