    Study Notes

    Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Key Facts and Criteria

    • Neurodevelopmental disorders impair personal, social, academic, and/or occupational functioning.
    • These disorders usually begin early in development, before the child starts school.
    • Intellectual Developmental Disorder (Intellectual Disability) is a specific neurodevelopmental disorder.
    • To be diagnosed with Intellectual Developmental Disorder, a person must have deficits in intellectual functioning.
    • These deficits are determined through clinical assessment and individualized, standardized intelligence testing.
    • The person must also have deficits in adaptive functioning, which hinder their ability to meet developmental and socio-cultural standards for personal independence and social responsibility.
    • The onset of these deficits must occur during the developmental period.
    • Individuals with Intellectual Developmental Disorder typically obtain a score on intelligence testing that is two or more standard deviations below the population mean.
    • The DSM-5-TR provides a specifier to indicate the level of severity of Intellectual Developmental Disorder, ranging from mild to profound.
    • The severity specifier helps classify the extent of the deficits in intellectual functioning and adaptive functioning.
    • Other neurodevelopmental disorders may also exist, but the text does not provide specific details about them.
    • Overall, neurodevelopmental disorders involve developmental deficits that significantly impact various aspects of a person's life.
