Q

Developmental Disorder - DDx / categories

A
  • motor: CNS (e.g. CP), PNS (e.g. MD), developmetnal coordination disorder
  • language: oromotor anatomy, hearing impairment, language disorder, ASD
  • emotional/social: ASD, neglect, social communication disorder
  • if 2+ areas: global developmental delay (language, social, cognitive, motor (fine, gross))

Q

Autism Spectrum Disorder - diagnostic criteria

A

A criteria (persistent + multiple contexts):

  • deficit in social-emotional reciprocity, affect, fail to initiate/respond
  • deficit in non-verbal communication
  • deficit in relationships

B restrictive behaviours

  • repetitive motions / speech
  • insistence on routine
  • restricted + fixed interests
  • hyper or hypo-reactivity to sensory input

Present early in development, cause impairment, not explained by ID or GDD

If co-occur with ID, ASD social communication is below expected for IQ

  • males
  • sibling /w autism
  • advanced paternal age
  • downs, NFT, tuberous sclerosis, fragile X, angelman, rett syndrome
  • prematurity, low BW
17
Q

ASD w/u and diagnosis

A
  • screen: 18-24mo
  • M-CHAT-R, ADOS-2
  • DSM5 to dx
  • speech, OT, maybe psych assessments
  • chromosome microarray + fragile X testing
  • hearing test if speech delay
  • +/- genetic test, MRI, EEG, metabolic test, CBC, TSH, lead
  • psychoeducational testing for school
18
Q

ASD management

A
  • early multi-D intervention
  • applied behavioural analysis therapy
  • SLP, OT, behaviour support
  • meds if refractory aggression
  • social skills + vocational training
19
Q

Cerebral Palsy Description / types

A

non-progressive movement disorder from peri-natal brain injury. Hypertonia.

types:
- spastic (uni or bilat)
- ataxic
- dyskinetic (dystonic or choreoathetosis - kernicterus)

20
Q

investigations for CP

A

MRI
**vision + hearing **
EEG if seizures
coagulopathy profile if hemiplegic
metabolic + genetic testing NOT routine

21
Q

CP management

A

physio, OT, speech therapy

hypertonia: botox, diazepam, dantrolene, baclofen, tizanidine

intrathecal baclofen pump

surgery: contractures, neuro (dorsal rhizotomy)

22

A

delay in 2 domains (motor, speech/language, cognition, social, ADLs)

only for kids <5, may become ID when older

24
Q

Global Dev Delay w/u

A
chromosome microarray + fragile X
basic metabolic testing
hearing + vision
others based on physical: EEG, lead, iron, genetics consult
MRI if neuro, seizures, abnormal HC
25
Q

Intellectual Disability criteria

A
