(Type of Cerebral Palsy)
Involves problems controlling movement and maintaining posture.
Extrapyramidal
Causes of blindness
Trauma
Infection
Tumors
Prenatal Viral Infection
Eye malformation
A condition that makes a person have an intellectual functioning that is more than two standard deviations below the norm.
Mental Retardation
Explain Unilateral Hearing loss
Only involves one of the ears.
What other disability is Visual Impairment associated?
Cerebral Palsy or Mental Retardation
Refers to various disorders of movement and posture that are due to damage/abnormality of the immature brain.
Cerebral Palsy
Diagnosed when a child’s speech, verbal expressions, and understanding of language are significantly less well developed for his age.
Language Problem
(Type of hearing loss)
Resulting from damage to external or middle ear.
Conductive
(Type of hearing loss)
Results from malfunctioning of the cochlea or auditory nerve.
Sensorineural
Thought to be neurochemical disorder that interfere with attention.
Attention Deficit-Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Three types of Hearing Loss
Conductive
Sensorineural
Mixed
Broadly defined as a disorder in which children with average or above average cognitive ability demonstrate significantly lowered achievement in reading, spelling, written language, mathematics, and language skills.
Learning Disabilities
Does mental retardation have a cure?
No
Diagnosed when a child’s speech, verbal expressions, and understanding of language are significantly less well-developed for his age.
Language Problem
A complex behavioral syndrome that first manifests during early childhood, usually between ages of one and four years old.
Autism
Three groups of Cerebral Palsy
Pyramidal or Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Extrapyramidal Cerebral Palsy
Mixed Cerebral Palsy
Visual Acquity in both eyes of less than 20/200 or a visual field of less than 20 percent despite best correction with glasses.
Visual Impairment
(Type of hearing loss)
Resulting from both sensorineural and conductive problems.
Mixed
Seven types of disability
Mental Retardation
Visual Impairment
Hearing Impairment
Cerebral Palsy
Language Problems
Learning disabilities
Attention Deficit Disorder
(Type of Cerebral Palsy)
Involves increased muscle tone that interferes with initiating normal movement.
Pyramidal
Explain bilateral Hearing Loss
Involves hearing loss in both ears
