INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AND LEARNING DISORDERS

TermDefinitionConceptual DomainSocial DomainPractical Domain 1Practical Domain 2
INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY VS LEARNING DISABILITY • Can’t be intellectual disorder AND learning disorder • Can’t be co-occuring • Shown already in infancy
INTELLECTUAL DISORDER • Intellectual Function deficits • reasoning, problem solving, planning. abstract thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from experience
INTELLECTUAL DISORDER • Adaptive function deficits • limited functioning in one or more activities of daily life, such as communication, social participation, and independent living,
INTELLECTUAL DISORDER • Onset: • During the developmental period
INTELLECTUAL DISORDER • Severity: • Mild, Moderate, Severe, Profound
LEARNING DISORDER Specific deficits in an individual's ability to perceive or process information efficiently and accurately.
LEARNING DISORDER • Characterized by: persistent difficulties with learning academic skills like: • Reading (dyslexia), • Written expression (dysgraphia) • mathematics (dyscalculia)
LEARNING DISORDER • Onset: School-age
LEARNING DISORDER • Severity: Mild, Moderate, Severe
INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY • More common in low-income countries and males
LEARNING DISORDER • 5% of school-aged children globally • Occurs more in boys than girls (2-3:1) • 80% dyslexia
LEARNING DISORDER Most common difficulty: Difficulty in reading
GENETIC FACTORS • Single gene mutation, copy number variation, or chromosomal abnormality
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS • Infection, prematurity, hypoxia-ischemia, toxic exposures, metabolic dysfunction, endocrine abnormalities, trauma, and malnutrition.
GENETIC ABNORMALITIES •Inborn Errors of Metabolism • Toxic by-products accumulate, causing intellectual disability • PKU → Phenylalanine accumulation → Intellectual and Learning disorder
GENETIC ABNORMALITIES • Neurodevelopmental Defects • Gene mutations disrupt normal brain development. • Down syndrome • Fragile X syndrome
Fragile X syndrome - impaired CNS (CGG triple repeat)
GENETIC ABNORMALITIES • Neurodegeneration • Rett syndrome
Rett syndrome from MeC2 mutation causes cerebral atrophy and developmental regression.
Atrophy: decrease in number of cells or size of the cell in any living cell, in this case its the BRAIN
Rett's Syndrome is: Progressive - normal development till 6 months then you start seeing symptoms (speaking, cognitive)
Rett's Syndrome - 6 months old Repetitive hand movement (can also see in ASD)
Rett's Syndrome: Regression of developmental skills Ex: meron na nung 6th month pero biglang nawala yung skill
ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES • Toxic Exposures • Fetal exposure to alcohol inhibits the production of RETINOIC ACID which is essential for the development of the nervous system. (There is learning disorder) • Cocaine and teratogenic medications
ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES • Infections (TORCH Syndrome) • Rubella infection during the first trimester • HIV infection • CMV
Rubella infection - up to a 50% risk of ID
HIV infection can be vertically transmitted, and infants may develop ID due to neuroinflammation and neuronal injury.
CMV 80% develop severe neurological symptoms including learning disability
TORCH Syndrome (teratogenic): toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex
Vertical transition - passing of mom to child
TORCH: acronym for a group of infectious diseases—Toxoplasmosis, Other infections (like syphilis, HIV, parvovirus, and Hepatitis B), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex
ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES • Perinatal causes • Perinatal asphyxia • The damage results from both the lack of oxygen and the harmful effects of reperfusion after resuscitation.
Perinatal asphyxia causes brain injury that can present as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns.
Injury of Reperfusion - too much oxygen causing damage to the neurons
ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES • Postnatal causes Severe infections like meningitis or encephalitis, head trauma, asphyxia, and intracranial tumors
Shaken Baby syndrome - too much traction causes the brain to move inside skull since there is so much space which can cause traumatic brain injury, most commonly in frontal parts of brain and occiput
Postnatal causes • Social factors • When the child is growing in the low income environment • 20 points may decrease in their IQ
INTELLECTUAL DISORDER 1 • Keeping up with daily functions is often challenging • Difficulty feeding themselves, going to the bathroom, and dressing •Difficulty getting along with their family & friends because of a problem with communication

LEARNING DISORDER • PRESCHOOL 2 • Fail to recognize letters in their own names • Trouble learning to count
LEARNING DISORDER • KINDERGARTEN 1 • Unable to recognize and write letters, may be unable to write their own names, or may use invented spelling • Trouble breaking down spoken words into syllables
LEARNING DISORDER • KINDERGARTEN 2 • Trouble recognizing words that rhyme (e.g., cat, bat, hat). • Unable to recognize phonemes (rhyming words, usually with the first two letters of the word)
LEARNING DISORDER • ELEMENTARY • Marked difficulty learning letter-sound correspondence, fluent word decoding, spelling, or math facts • Reading aloud is slow, inaccurate, and effortful
LEARNING DISORDER • ADOLESCENT • May have mastered word decoding, but reading remains slow and effortful • Marked problems in reading comprehension and written expression • Poor mastery of math facts or mathematical problem solving
