Q

neuropathology of ID?

A

changes in early brain dev such as reduced cerebral volume, diffuse pathology
microcephaly w/ differential volume reduction (e.g. fetal alcohol syndrome)
enlarged head circumference and mild ventricular enlargement (e.g. autism)
changes related to neuronal proliferation, apoptosis, migration, synaptogenesis, dendritic pruning

Q

Causes of ID

A

genetic (e.g. downs syndrome, fragile X, williams syndrome, tay-sachs disease, maple syrup urine disease, prader willi syndrome, angelman syndrome, klinefelter syndrome, tuberous sclerosis)

functional language by adolescence
academic skills up to 2nd grade
need moderate supervision
can establish meaningful relationships w/ family and friends
hard to perceive social cues, limited social judgment
limited decision making skills
can care for basic personal needs with teaching
possible employment with limited conceptual and communication skills
need a lot of support for decision and management

17

A

3-4%

18
Q

Severe ID characteristics

A

limited language (single words, phrases, use gesture)
poor academic skills (ok with alphabet, simple counting)
need extensive supervision for life, work, recs
depend on family members and others
cannot make decisions
few show maladaptive behavior (e.g. self injury)

19
Q

% of people with profound ID

A

1-2%

20
Q

Profound ID characteristics

A

can learn single words
no academic skills
need pervasive supervision and support
poor conceptual skills
understand simple instructions or gestures
use non verbal, non symbolic means to express and communicate
enjoy relationship with fam and friends
simple actions with objects regarding job skills
may have physical and sensory impairment
may have maladpative behavior

21
Q

Angelman syndrome results from

A

deletion on chromosome 15 contributed by mother

22
Q

Prader Willi syndrome results from

A

deletion on the same chromosome contributed by father or by receiving 2 chromosome 15s contributed by mother

23
Q

Angelman syndrome involves

A 
ID
sleep disturbance
seizures
jerky movements
frequent laughter or smiling
usually happy demeanor =)
24
Q

Prader Willi syndrome involves

A

ID
low muscle tone
short stature
incomplete sexual development
compulsive behaviors
chronic feelings of hunger and excessive eating
more maladaptive behaviors and cognitive impairment in those who have deletion on same chromosome

25
Q

individuals with ID have shorter lifespan

T or F

A

T (in their 60s)

26
Q

scales of dev fx

A

Bayley scales of infant development

Mullen scales of early Learning

27
Q

IQ measures

A 
WAIS
DAS
Kaufman
Stanford Binet
Leiter International Performance Scales
28
Q

Adaptive functioning measures

A

Vineland
ABAS
Scales of independent behavior SIB

29
Q

intervention programs for ID

A

ABA
proper nutrition
helmet
vaccination

30
Q

Risk of ID with aging

A

down syndrome and Fragile X have declines in IQ with age

Down syndrome people may have AD and die within 8 yrs of AD dx

31
Q

IQ NP characteristics in people with ID

A

IQ usually 70 or below
poor attention
slow processing
language varies (Williams syndrome - verbal IQ > non verbal IQ)
Visuospatial common (Williams syndrome spatial cognition poor, ASD and Downs relative strength in visuospatial)
memory varies, but generally weak in Long term memory
EF impaired
sensory motor delays
emotion and personality - impulse control, frustration tolerance, mood, low self esteem

32
Q

PVT performance in ID

A

mild ID - rarely fail PVT
use alternate administration if needed
maintain SP at 90% for cutoff scores

33
Q

% of mild ID people failing PVT

A

10-13%

34
Q

psych fx in ID

A

4-5x mor likely diagnosed with psych problems

35
Q

Risk factor modification (3 tiers)

A

Primary tier: prevention by improving nutritional status, immunization, avoiding exposure, education of complications
secondary tier: neonatal screening, med tx, EIP
tertiary tier: education, training, support

36
Q

maple syrup urine disease

A

rare genetic d/o

deficiency of particular enzymes to metabolize certain protein amino acids properly (error of metabolism)

37
Q

how many known genetic causes of ID are there

A

more than 1000

38
Q

which two preventable causes of ID are mandated to be screened?

A

PKU and congenital hypothyroidism
