    Study Notes

    Neurodevelopmental Disorders

    • Conditions that start in early childhood, often before school, due to brain development differences or delays.
    • Impact personal, social, academic, and occupational functioning.
    • Challenges can be specific (e.g., focusing, learning skills) or broader (e.g., social skills, thinking).

    Specifiers for Diagnosis

    • Severity: Some disorders (e.g., intellectual developmental disorder, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD) have severity levels indicating the amount of support needed due to symptom impact on daily life.
    • Current Symptoms: Specifiers for disorders like ADHD, specific learning disorder, persistent motor or vocal tic disorder, detail current symptom presentation to track how the disorder is currently impacting the individual.
    • Associated Medical or Environmental Factors: For some disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, stereotypic movement disorder), specifiers note associated genetic conditions, medical issues, or environmental factors (e.g., brain injury, prenatal exposure to toxins). This guides understanding potential causes and treatment influence.

    Intellectual Developmental Disorder (Intellectual Disability)

    • Onset during the developmental period.
    • Involves intellectual skills (reasoning, problem-solving, learning) and adaptive functioning (daily living skills, communication, independence, social participation).
    • Diagnosed through clinical assessment, standardized intellectual and adaptive functioning tests.
    • Deficits in conceptual, social, and practical domains are required along with problems in adaptive functioning.
    • Different severity levels (mild, moderate, severe, profound) influence the degree of support needed for daily life tasks.

    Global Developmental Delay (GDD)

    • Diagnosed in children under 5 years old who aren't meeting developmental milestones in multiple areas.
    • Used when formal tests for intellectual ability aren't suitable (due to age or medical conditions).
    • Not a permanent diagnosis; further evaluation leads to a confirmed diagnosis of another specified disorder later.

    Unspecified Intellectual Developmental Disorder (F79)

    • Diagnosis for individuals over 5 years of age with likely intellectual developmental delays.
    • Used when the exact level of difficulty is uncertain due to barriers to assessment.
    • Reassessment is needed to confirm abilities and limitations as assessment barriers are overcome.

    Communication Disorder

    • Characterized by difficulties related to speech, language, or communication affecting effective expression, comprehension, and interaction significantly in daily life.
    • Includes variations in speech (articulation, fluency, voice), language (vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and discourse), and communication, all involving rule-governed systems of symbols.
    • Barriers to assessment may be sensory or physical impairments.

    Language Disorder

    • Persistent difficulties understanding, acquiring, and using language.
    • Involves vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and discourse.
    • Interrupts academic, social, and occupational functioning.
    • Includes comprehension and production deficits (understanding and expressing language).
    • Severity ranges.

    Speech Sound Disorder (SSD)

    • Difficulty with the production of speech sounds.
    • Involves issues with phonological knowledge about speech sounds, motor coordination, and consistent mispronunciation or substitution of one sound for another.
    • Affects the intelligibility of communication.
    • May include substituting, omitting, or distorting sounds.
    • Results in difficulties integrating into social situations, academically, and occupationally.

    Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder (Stuttering)

    • Condition impacting the flow and timing of speech, often appearing early in childhood.
    • Characterized by repetitions, prolongations, broken words, and blocking.
    • May lead to anxiety about speaking, difficulty in social situations, and problems with school or work.
