INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AND LEARNING DISORDERS
| Term | Definition | Conceptual Domain | Social Domain | Practical Domain 1 | Practical 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 | ||||
