When do neurodevelopmental disorders typically have an onset period?
Developmental period
4 settings impairments occur with Neurodevelopmental Disorder
- personal
- social
- academic
- occupational
Diagnostic Criteria for ID
A. Deficits in intellectual fxns confirmed by assessment & individualized/standardized intelligence tests
B. Deficits in adaptive fxning=failure to meet developmental&socio-culrural standards for personal independence and social responsibility.
C. Onset during developmental period
3 domains of ID
Conceptual, social, practical
When is global developmental delay diagnosed?
- under 5yrs
- clinical severity level cannot be reliably assessed
- have failed to meet developmental milestones in several areas of intellectual fxning
ASD criteria A&B severity based on what?
Social communication impairments & restricted, repetitive patterns of bx
Diagnostic Criteria for ASD
A. Persistent deficits in social communication & social interactions across mx contexts (currently/historically)
B. Restricted, repetitive patterns of bx, interests, or activities as manifested by >=2
-repetitive motor movements, use of objects, speech
-insistence on sameness
-fixated interests abnormal in intensity/focus
-hyper/hypo sensory input
C. Present in early developmental period
D. Symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas.
E. Exclusions
ADHD Diagnostic Criteria
A. Pattern of inattention (6+) &/ hyperactivity-impulsivity (6+) interferes w/ fxning or development lasting at least 6 months
*17yr+ need 5+
B. Sx present before 12yrs
C. Present in 2x settings
D. Sx interfere w/ social, academic, occupational fx
E. Exclusions
For intellectual disability, what are levels of severity based on?

12
Specific learning disorder diagnostic criteria
A. Difficulty learning and applying academic skills, needing 1 of 6 symptoms, for 6 months, despite interventions to target the symptoms.
B. Academic skills are substantially below chronological age & cause significant interference with academic/occupational performance.
C. Began during school-age years but may not be manifested until demands exceed limited capacity.
D. Exclusion
Objectives of treatment for Neurodevelopment disorders
- Eliminate dysfunctional behavior
- Improve academic functioning
- Improve socialization and peer-group involvement
- Promote family understanding of the disorder
- Improve parenting and family functioning
