|---|---|
| intellectual function | covers many everyday social and practical skills |
| intellectual disability | a disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which cover many everyday social and practical skills. This disability originates before age of 22 |
| adaptive behavior | at one time, it was common practice to diagnose individuals as intellectually disabled solely on the basis of and IQ scores. Adaptive behavior in addition to IQ in defining intellectual disability because they began to recognize that some students |
| adaptive behavior continued | might score poorly on IQ test but still function well in their daily lives. |
| social intelligence | involves understanding and interpreting people and social interactions, such as being able to "read" when someone is angry , not being gullible, easily tricked, manipulated |
| practical intelligence | involves the ability to solve everyday problems, such as preparing meals, using transportation, using internet, solving problems |
| people with disabilities can improve | it used to be that people with disabilities cannot improve, recent research has shown that people with disabilities can improve |

| chromosomal disorders | A few examples of this could be down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Williams syndrome |
| down syndrome | involves an anomaly at the 21st pair of chromosomes ( a normal cell contains 23 chromosomes) |
| Chromosomes | contains DNA |
| trisomy 21 | a genetic condition that is caused by an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21 |
| Maternal Serum Screening | blood test that checks for markers such as certain proteins in mother's blood that suggest likelihood of Down Syndrome |
| Nuchal translucency ultrasound | allows physician to see fluid from behind fetus's neck, greater amount of fluid, means greater chance of down syndrome |
| amniocentesis | a sample of amniotic fluid that from sac around the fetus, which is analyzed for certain proteins that are markers for Down Syndrome |
| spina bifida | a condition in which the spinal column fails to close properly in womb |
| Fragile X syndrome | most common known hereditary cause of intellectual disabilities |
| Prader- Willi syndrome | result of genetic abnormality, but few cases are inherited |
| Williams Syndrome | caused by absence of material on the seventh pair of chromosomes |
| sleep apnea | cessation of breathing while sleeping |
| Inborn errors of metabolism | Result from inherited deficiencies in enzymes used to metabolize basic substances in body such as amino acids carbohydrates vitamins or trace elements |
| Phenylketonuria | Involves the authority of the body to convert common dietary substance phenylalanine to tyrosine |
| Developmental disorders of brain formation | A number of conditions can affect structural development of the brain and cause intellectual disabilities |
| Microphalus | Head is abnormally small and conical in shape |
| Hydrocephalus | Result from an acclamation of cebrospinal fluid inside or outside brain |
| Environmental influences | A variety of environmental factors can affect a woman who is pregnant therefore impact fetus |
| Fatal syndrome disorders | Include a range of disorders and children born to women who consumed alcohol while pregnant |
| Fetal alcohol syndrome | Children with fetal alcohol syndrome are characterized by abnormal facial features and growth retardation as well as intellectual disabilities |
| Rubella | In addition to being a potential cause of blindness it can also impact intellectual disabilities |
| Anoxia | Complete deprivation of oxygen |
| Low birth rate | Can results in a variety of behavioral and medical problems including intellectual disabilities |
| Syphilis | Infection that can be passed to child for mother during pregnancy |
| Herpes simplex | Can be passed from mother to child shows us cold sores or fever blisters |
| Biological postnatal causes | Examples of biological postnatal causes or infection infections malnutrition and toxins |
| Meningitis | An infection of the covering of the brain may be caused by bacterial or viral agents |
| Encephalitis | Inflammation of the brain results more often in intellectual disabilities |
| Psychosocial postnatal causes | Children who are raised in poor environmental circumstances at risk for intellectual disabilities |
| Mental age | The age of which a person is functioning |
| Chronological age | Their actual age |
| Working memory | Involves the ability to keep information in mind while doing another task |
| Self regulation | Broad term referring to the ability to regulate one’s own behavior |
| Metacognition | Refers to a person’s awareness of what strategies are needed to perform a task |
| Behavioral phenotypes | Associated with some genetic syndromes |
| Explicit instruction | Involves being as clear direct and precise as possible |
| Systematic instruction | Involves the teacher selecting a well defined target behavior, implementing instruction consistently with respect to such things as sequencing prompting/queuing ,etc |
| Functional programming | In practice all students who have intellectual disabilities no matter the severity level needs some instruction in functional skills |
| Functional academics | Teaching academics and context of daily living skills |
| scoliosis | curvature of spine |
| Inborn errors of metabolism | result of inherited deficiencies in enzymes used to metabolize basic substances in the body, such as ammino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and trace elements |
| phenylketonuria (PKU) | PKU involves inability to of the body to convert a common dietary substance - phenylalanine - to tyrosine |
| microcephalus | the head is abnormally small and in conical shape |
| hydrocephalus | results from an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid inside or outside the brain |
| environmental influences | a variety of emotional factors can affect a woman who is pregnant |
| fetal alcohol syndrome disorders | disorders of children whose mothers drink alcohol while pregnant |
| fetal alcohol syndrome | children with FAs |
| deinstitutionalization movement | resulted in closing of many large residential institutions in favor of more integrated living conditions |
| domestic skills | things like learning to wash dishes, cook, do laundry, and manage a budget |
| community skills | things like transportation, banking, going to restaurants, shopping, |
