Q

how do people with disability usually present

A
  • problems are often complex and multiple

screening programmes

  • new born hearing - if they fail this then they have repeat tests
  • Down syndrome = antenatal triplet test - this is a blood test on the pregnant mother
  • routine reviews
  • e.g. 6 week baby check at GP - vision if not fixing following = baby should be able to look at you and follow you by 6 weeks, if they don’t do this at 6 weeks then this could mean there are vision problems
  • 2 year check with health visitor and no words produced - this check is called the ASQ (age and stage questionnaire)
  • parental concerns
  • concerns of others e.g. friends, nursery, school

Q

describe the different types of developmental trajectories

A

Progressive disorder - normal development and then rapidly declines

Plateau
- this is when normal development happens and then between 1 and 2 for example your development of speech plateaus and then after a while it carries on progressing (can be a sign for autism)

Episodic
- this is a metabolism disorder when you get unwell the body cannot clear out the toxins and this can effect your neurology

Delay
- this is when you are progressing normally but just at a slower rate than your peers

Q

what are the implications of disability on the family

A
  • grief
  • stigma
  • financial
  • fear
  • use of the terms slow/delayed may suggest that children will catch up
  • understanding/use of the term disability
  • affects all rest of the family
    there is lots to learn
21
Q

what are the 5 stages of grief

A
  • denial
  • anger
  • bargaining
  • depression
  • acceptance
22
Q

How can you diagnose down syndrome

A
  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) may be used for rapid diagnosis of trisomy 21 (prenatal diagnosis and postnatal confirmation).
  • Does not provide information about whether trisomy 21 is secondary to a translocation. Therefore, a FISH test must be confirmed by a complete karyotype analysis
23
Q

what chromosome is affected in down syndrome

A

trisomy 21

24
Q

What complications can be experienced in down syndrome

A
  • cardiac defects
  • hearing problems such as glue ear
  • cataracts congenital can be a problem therefore test for ophthalmology
  • ensure feeding is established and no vomitting
  • hypothyroidism can be effected
  • gastrointestinal tract
25
Q

what are the intial tests that are done on a down syndrome child

A
  • cardiac assessment - echocardiogram = 40-60% have congenital heart defects and oft these 30-40% are complete AVSD
  • hearing test - sensorineural hearing loss idenftiied at new born hearing test
  • refer to ophthalmology
  • ensure regular feeding as there can be malformation of their gastrointestinal tract
  • newborn sport screening test should be performed on day 5-7 as hypothyroidism can be a congenial condition in downs syndrome
  • physio sometimes as they are late to walk
26
Q

What is portage

33
Q

How many people have autism

A

Approx 1: 100 and increasing

34
Q

what can cause autism

A
  • epigenetic
  • may be a genetic cause for some children with ASD
  • likely to have mutable genes rather than a single gene
35

A

The commonest non genetic cause of disability (1% babies born per year)

37
Q

how does fetal alcohol spectrum disorder affect children

A

Affected children can look very ‘normal’

They can be very verbal with a normal IQ

However their brains are unable to process information

They have executive function deficits

38
Q

An ability to focus and maintain attention

An ability to store and retrieve memories

An ability to inhibit inappropriate actions

An ability to prevent emotions from getting out of control

  • Delays in walking and talking
  • Delayed toilet training
  • Difficulty in following directions
  • Temper tantrums and disobedience
  • Distractibility
40
Q

What are children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder present

A

Children are often diagnosed with ADHD or ASD

41
Q

what can you do for children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder

A
  • chromosomal analysis to exclude other diagnosis
  • diagnosis before the age of 6 mitigates subsequent secondary disabilities such as unemployment, social, and sexual exploitation’s, sucidie and future alcohol problems
  • may prevent future children born to the same mother with FASD
  • give adopters advice
42
Q

what is cerebral palsy

A

‘Disorder of movement and posture due to a non-progressive lesion of the motor pathways in the developing brain

43
Q

what is the commonest cause of motor impairment

A

cerebral palsy

- Commonest cause of motor impairment in chldren: 2/1000 live births, static over last 40 years. 40% born prem

44
Q

what is the presentation of cerebral palsy

A

Abnormal tone and posturing in early infancy

Feeding difficulties: incoordination

Delayed motor milestones

Abnormal gait

Developmental delay

45
Q

what can assess cerebral palsy

A
  • GMFCS levels
46
Q

describe the 5 GMFCS levels

A

Level 1

  • children walk indoors and outdoors without limitation
  • can perform gross motor skills including running, jumping, speed and balance

Level 2
- children walk indoors and outdoors and climb starts holding onto a railing but experience limitations walking on uneven surfaces and inclines and walking in crowds

Level 3

  • children can walk indoors or outdoors on a level surface with an assertive mobility device
  • can climb stairs holding onto a railing
  • may propel a wheelchair manually or transported while travelling long distances

Level 4
- children continue to walk for short distances on a walker or rely more or wheeled mobility at home and school

Level 5

  • physical impairment restricts voluntary control of movement and the ability to maintain antigravity head and trunk postures
