Q

Hydrocephalus

A

developmental disorder of brain formation, prenatal cause of ID
results from accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid inside or outside the brain
results in excessive pressure on the brain and enlargement of the skull
degree of ID depends on how early diagnosed

Q

biological causes

A

postnatal cause of ID
meningitis - an infection of the covering of the brain caused by a variety of bacterial or viral agents
encephalitis - an inflammation of the brain, results more often in ID and usually affects intelligence more severely
lead poisoning

19
Q

psychosocial causes

A

postnatal cause of ID
raised in poor circumstances
extreme cases of abuse, neglect, understimulation
inadequate exposure to stimulation adult-child interactions, poor teaching, lack of reading skills
heredity can also play a role

20
Q

Prevention

A

DS - abortion; genetic counselling to determine likelihood
FXS - genetic counselling, not always diagnosed
DDBF - shunt before birth
IEM - testing for PKU, diet
environmental - WIC, vaccinations, education
c-sections
ultrasounds for cord around neck - anoxia
vitamins and antibiotics
church, headstart, babies being held

21
Q

characteristics of ID

A

2 types

  • intellectual functioning
  • adaptive abilities

IQ of 70 +/- 5

  • speech delayed in development, not an extensive vocab, difficulty w/ pronunciation
  • lack of reduction in reasoning, impulsive
  • Bloom’s taxonomy; ID students dwell in basic information and knowledge
  • slower intellectual development
  • better w/ concrete than abstract
  • trouble w/ classifying and generalization
  • cannot read social cues
  • do not rehearse (study/memory)
22
Q

Main Goal for ID

A

habilitation
helping them to live as independently as possible
“the process of becoming capable; developing the skills necessary for successful adulthood”
often requires prioritization on the part of educators

23
Q

additional goals and treatment for ID

A

self-determination - choice
work habits - following directions, task completion, group work
behavioral, social interactions - respect, what is acceptable
general academics - functional academics

24
Q

ADHD prevalence

A

3-5% of ALL k-12

25
Q

DSM Criteria for ADHD

A
  • a pattern of inattention or hyperactivity/impulsivity that interferes w/ functioning
  • symptoms present before age 12
  • symptoms present in 2 or more settings
  • symptoms interfere w/ functioning; academic, social, & occupational
  • symptoms don’t occur exclusively during psychotic episode (not better diagnosed as another disorder)
26
Q

ADHD definition - OHI

A

“other health impairments”

  • limitations in strength, vitality, or alertness due to chronic or acute health problems
  • or comorbid condition - 2 or more disabilities at the same time
27
Q

types of ADHD

A

predominantly inattentive
predominantly hyperactive/impulsive
combined

don’t do well with upheaval
the “bullied” kids

aggressive
act out
fight
