34
Q

5 components of Developmental Surveillance

A
  1. Eliciting and attending to the parents’ concerns about their child’s development.
  2. Documenting and maintaining a developmental history.
  3. Making accurate observations of the child.
  4. Identifying risk and protective factors.
  5. Maintaining an accurate record and documenting the process and findings
35
Q

Developmental Screening

A

The administration of a brief standardized tool aiding the identification of children at risk of a developmental disorder.

personality) @ 0-­‐4y

Bayley Neurodevelopmental Screen @ 3-­‐24 mo; assesses neural and developmental achievements.

Draw a person test @ 3-­‐10y : estimates approx. mental age

Pediatric Symptom checklist @ 6-­‐16y: looks into problem behaviors

38
Q

Objective, physiologic methods are used for hearing screening:

A

Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and Otoacoustic emission (OAE)

39
Q

Hearing loss risk factors:

A

40
Q

Communication Disorders

A

Expressive and receptive language d/os

41
Q

The defining features of spoken language disorders are:

A

Impairments in oral expression and/or listening comprehension associated with dysfunction in one or more subdomain of language, including: 1) morphology (word structure) 2) semantics (word meaning) 3) syntax (sentence structure)

Deficits must significantly interfere with academic achievement and/or social communication

42

A

Significant hereditability, bilingual households, Otitis media

43
Q

Global Developmental Delay:

A

Significant delay in 2 or more developmental domains: Gross/fine motor, Speech/language, Cognition, Social/personal

44
Q

Intellectual Disability Etiology:

A

Genetic, Teratogenic toxins, Infections, Traumatic, Deprivation, or Idiopathic

45
Q

Intellectual Disability Clinical presentation:

A

1) Deficits in intellectual functioning: IQ 2 SD below mean (70-­‐75).
2) Deficits in adaptive function: ie: conceptual skills (money, time, self-­‐direction), social skills (including ability to follow laws), practival skills (ADLs, IADLs)
3) Disability originates in the developmental period

Typically present with SPEECH DELAY (also hyperactivity and behavior problems)

46
Q

Intellectual Disability Diagnosis

A

Dx: cognitive and adaptive skills (standardized tests), strengths and needs (5 dimensions), supports and services needed

47
Q

Intellectual Disability (ISP) Classifications:

A

Mild (IQ 55-­‐69)
Moderate (IQ 40-­‐54)
Severe (IQ 25-­‐39)
Profound (IQ <24)

48
Q

Mild Disability:

A

(IQ 55-­‐69; Intermittent need for support): Learns to read at 3rd–6th grade level, learns at ½-­‐2/3 normal velocity; Usually lives independently, often marries
and parents, job competitive.

49
Q

Moderate Disability:

A

(IQ 40-­‐54; Limited need for support): Learns at 1/3 to ½ normal velocity, 1st-­‐3rd grade reading level; ADL skills teaching, lives in supervised group home, rarely marries or parents, sheltered employment

50
Q

Severe Disability:

A

(IQ 25-­‐39; Extensive need for support): Learns at ¼ to 1/3 normal velocity, sight reading, life skills class, will likely need assistance w/ ADLs; Highly supervised group
home, does not marry or parent, sheltered work is possible

51
Q

Profound Disability:

A

(IQ <24; Pervasive need for support): Learning less than ¼ normal velocity, no reading skills; Life skills in hospital, needs assistance w/ ADLS, often co-­‐existing
medical conditions.

52
Q

Risk Factors for Intellectual Disability:

A

Most common genetic cause: Down syndrome
Most common inherited cause: Fragile X syndrome
Most common medical cause: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

53
Q

Prenatal/Perinatal Causes for Intellectual Disability:

A

Maternal illness, infection, malnutrition; Toxins, teratogens, alcohol, illicit drugs; Chromosome abnormalities; Decreased fetal movement, IUGR; Perinatal asphyxia (Apgars of 0-­‐3 at 5 minutes); Perinatal seizures; Prematurity
