Developmental Disorder - DDx / categories

motor: CNS (e.g. CP), PNS (e.g. MD), developmetnal coordination disorder
language: oromotor anatomy, hearing impairment, language disorder, ASD
emotional/social: ASD, neglect, social communication disorder
if 2+ areas: global developmental delay (language, social, cognitive, motor (fine, gross))

Developmental disorder w/u

hearing, vision
genetic syndromes potentially
MRI head (if neuro findings, seizures, macro/microcephaly)
metabolic testing
EEG if ?seizures
lead + iron studies possibly

Autism Spectrum Disorder - diagnostic criteria

A criteria (persistent + multiple contexts):

deficit in social-emotional reciprocity, affect, fail to initiate/respond
deficit in non-verbal communication
deficit in relationships

B restrictive behaviours

repetitive motions / speech
insistence on routine
restricted + fixed interests
hyper or hypo-reactivity to sensory input

Present early in development, cause impairment, not explained by ID or GDD

If co-occur with ID, ASD social communication is below expected for IQ

ASD risk factors

Study These Flashcards

genetic, epigenetic, environment
males
sibling /w autism
advanced paternal age
downs, NFT, tuberous sclerosis, fragile X, angelman, rett syndrome
prematurity, low BW

ASD w/u and diagnosis

Study These Flashcards

screen: 18-24mo
M-CHAT-R, ADOS-2
DSM5 to dx
speech, OT, maybe psych assessments
chromosome microarray + fragile X testing
hearing test if speech delay
+/- genetic test, MRI, EEG, metabolic test, CBC, TSH, lead
psychoeducational testing for school

ASD management

Study These Flashcards

early multi-D intervention
applied behavioural analysis therapy
SLP, OT, behaviour support
meds if refractory aggression
social skills + vocational training

Cerebral Palsy Description / types

Study These Flashcards

non-progressive movement disorder from peri-natal brain injury. Hypertonia.

types:
- spastic (uni or bilat)
- ataxic
- dyskinetic (dystonic or choreoathetosis - kernicterus)

investigations for CP

Study These Flashcards

MRI
**vision + hearing **
EEG if seizures
coagulopathy profile if hemiplegic
metabolic + genetic testing NOT routine

CP management

Study These Flashcards

physio, OT, speech therapy

hypertonia: botox, diazepam, dantrolene, baclofen, tizanidine

intrathecal baclofen pump

surgery: contractures, neuro (dorsal rhizotomy)

CP possible associations

Study These Flashcards

speech delay
ID
LD
hearing + vision issues
seizures
feeding/swallowing
constipation

Global developmental delay definition

Study These Flashcards

delay in 2 domains (motor, speech/language, cognition, social, ADLs)

only for kids <5, may become ID when older

Global Dev Delay w/u

Study These Flashcards

chromosome microarray + fragile X
basic metabolic testing
hearing + vision
others based on physical: EEG, lead, iron, genetics consult
MRI if neuro, seizures, abnormal HC

Intellectual Disability criteria

3 criteria (meets all) - deficit in intellectual functioning (reasoning, problem solving, planning, etc) by clinically + testing - deficit in adaptive functioning (independence, ADLs, social role) - onset during developmental period mild, mod, severe, profound levels (based on adaptive function) diagnosed by psychologist

FASD criteria

Can be either with sentinel features - (all 3) smooth philtrum, thin lip, short palpebral fissures - prenatal EtoH confirmed or unknown AND - evidence of impairment in 2+ neurodev domains OR microcephaly if infant without sentinel features - impaired in 3+ neurodev domains AND - confirmed prenatal EtOH associated defects: CHD, cleft palate, hearing loss, renal, eye high risk of mental illness, criminality, peer issues

Learning Disabilities - diagnostic criteria

4 criteria - learning difficulty in 1+ area (word reading, comprehension, writing, numbers, math reasoning) - academics below grade level - begin in school years - not explained by ID, hearing/vision, psychosocial, psych Co-occurs: ADHD, ASD, anxiety, dev coordination
