  1. Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012

  2. Objectives • To review Developmental Disabilities • To review Pervasive Developmental Disorders (will only review questions, as topic was covered earlier today) • To discuss comorbidity and treatment options

  3. Case • A 12 y old girl is brought to the Emergency by 2 police officers because of suicidal ideation. She is in handcuffs. • She is screaming, bit her mouth, blood is smeared all over her T-shirt, face and hands. • You are paged urgently. • Think about what you want to ask, we will come back to this……

  4. Developmental Disability • Often diagnosed in infancy • Mental retardation is the result of a pathological process in the brain characterized by limitations in intellectual and adaptive function. • Areas of function affected: communication, self-care, independence, functional/academic skills, work, health, leisure, safety (helpful when you try to take a history, as it can guide some of your questions)

  5. DSM-IV-TR • Mental retardation requires intellectual deficits (IQ measured by standardized test) and deficit in adaptive function (use of measure with deficits in at least two areas of deficits, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale: communications, daily living skills, socialization and motor skills) • Manifested before age of 18

  6. TABLE 21–3. Clinical features of mental retardation Source.Reprinted from American Psychiatric Association: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision. Washington, DC, American Psychiatric Association, 2000. Used with permission.
