Learning disabilities can be caused by factors that affect brain development before or shortly after birth, such as the mother becoming ill during pregnancy, problems during birth like lack of oxygen, or genetic factors. Specific conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and epilepsy are also associated with higher rates of learning disabilities. Profound multiple learning disabilities involve more than one disability where the most significant is a learning disability, and often co-occur with physical, sensory, health or mental challenges requiring full-time care.
Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain either during development before birth or shortly after and results in impaired movement and posture. It is considered a non-progressive, permanent condition but is generally non-life threatening. While incurable, treatment and therapy can help manage symptoms and maximize independence. The majority of cases are not caused during birth but from abnormalities earlier in development.
Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the developing brain, which can occur during pregnancy, delivery, or early childhood. Over three quarters of cases result from issues during pregnancy, such as infection, lack of oxygen, prematurity, or genetic factors. Between 40-50% of cerebral palsy cases are in children born prematurely, with risks increasing the earlier the birth. Other risk factors include complications during delivery, low birth weight, infections, and genetic disorders. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, and mixed, defined by the pattern of muscle tone and movement abnormalities.
Periventricular leukomalacia (pvl) is a form of brain damage that affects the white matter of brain, resulting in the cells in the white matter of brain either decaying or dying.
Cerebral palsy is an abnormality of motor function that is acquired before or during early childhood and affects movement, posture, and balance. It can be caused by events during pregnancy like premature birth, genetic disorders, infections, strokes or lack of oxygen to the brain. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, which affects muscle tone, ataxic which affects coordination, and athetoid with involuntary movements. Treatment involves physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as medications to address symptoms, with the goal of helping those with cerebral palsy to lead full lives.
Shaken baby syndrome is a form of child abuse that can cause severe brain damage or death in infants and young children. It occurs when a caregiver violently shakes a baby, causing the baby's brain to hit against the inside of the skull. This can lead to bleeding, swelling, and bruising of the brain. Symptoms may include seizures, breathing problems, retinal hemorrhages, and coma. Diagnosis involves CT scans, MRI, and x-rays to check for brain and bone injuries. Survivors often suffer lifelong disabilities such as cerebral palsy, intellectual impairment, blindness, and seizures. Prevention focuses on educating caregivers on healthy ways to manage infant crying and releasing stress.
This document discusses the management of cerebral palsy from a multidisciplinary approach. Cerebral palsy is a group of non-inherited disorders caused by damage to the motor region of the brain, impairing voluntary muscle control. Treatment requires a coordinated effort from specialists like pediatricians, surgeons, therapists and psychologists. While cerebral palsy cannot be cured, early and comprehensive treatment can improve capabilities and quality of life. The long-term prognosis depends on the severity of symptoms, but supportive care helps many improve motor skills and functioning over time.

Glaucoma is an eye disorder that damages the optic nerve and causes permanent vision loss if untreated. It often has no symptoms initially, so many people are unaware of vision changes until the disease is advanced. Risk factors include age over 60, African or Latino ancestry, family history, and diabetes. Glaucoma can be managed if detected early through treatment with eye drops, pills, laser surgery, or traditional surgery to prevent further vision loss.
Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition where an infant's head is significantly smaller than average for their age and sex. It is usually the result of abnormal brain development in the womb or after birth and can be caused by genetic factors or exposure to infections, toxins, or lack of oxygen prenatally. Children with microcephaly often have developmental delays or intellectual disabilities, and treatment focuses on early intervention to support development and manage any complications.
Shaken baby syndrome is caused when someone vigorously shakes an infant, which can lead to brain injury or death in some cases. Survivors often suffer lifelong disabilities such as blindness, paralysis, seizures, and developmental or cognitive impairments. To help prevent shaken baby syndrome, parents and caregivers should be educated about child development, strategies for coping with a crying baby's frustration, and programs that provide support.
This study examines disorders among members of the baby boomer generation who recreationally used drugs such as opiates, amphetamines, and hallucinogens.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors - Treatment for DementiaWayne Macfadden
Cholinesterase inhibitors are a group of pharmaceutical drugs commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. Dr. Wayne Macfadden, a psychiatrist in North Dakota, has experience prescribing cholinesterase inhibitors such as Aricept, Exelon, and Razadyne, which are usually given to individuals in the early or middle stages of dementia. While these drugs cannot stop or reverse dementia, they may delay disease progression and help improve communication between brain cells by boosting acetylcholine levels, though some mild side effects like diarrhea or nausea can occur.
Cerebral palsy is a movement disorder caused by damage to the developing brain before or during birth, which can result from fetal stroke, lack of oxygen, infections, or traumatic head injury. Symptoms include stiff or spastic muscles, poor muscle coordination, tremors, and difficulties with speech and writing. While most cases cannot be prevented, maintaining good prenatal health can help reduce risks. Treatment involves specialists like physical therapists and involves managing symptoms.

Brain tumors are abnormal cell growths that develop in the brain and can be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). They are the second most common childhood cancer and symptoms depend on the tumor's location and size. Management may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to prevent complications from increased pressure on the skull. Nurses monitor patients for signs of increased intracranial pressure like headaches and vomiting and communicate any changes to doctors for timely intervention. The outlook depends on factors like tumor type, size, location, and how early treatment was initiated.
This document discusses ocular myasthenia gravis through an interview with the presenter's mother who has lived with the condition for over 30 years. The mother describes her initial symptoms of double vision and drooping eyelids. She discusses receiving a diagnosis of generalized myasthenia gravis initially and then ocular myasthenia gravis. The mother also shares details of her symptoms at their worst and best, as well as how the condition has impacted her personal and professional life. She provides advice for others living with the disease to stay positive and informed.
Coma is defined as a loss of consciousness and awareness of the environment with preservation of autonomic functions. Coma is caused by dysfunction of the reticular activating system and cerebral cortex, with the most common causes being toxic or metabolic disorders, trauma, and stroke. The prognosis of a coma depends on its underlying cause, whether the problem can be corrected, and the duration of unconsciousness - the longer a person remains in a coma, the worse the expected outcome generally is, though full recovery is still possible even after weeks. Emergency treatment of coma focuses on maintaining airway, breathing, circulation, controlling seizures, and reducing intracranial pressure through medications and other interventions.
Birth defects are abnormalities present at birth that can cause disabilities or death. They range from minor to serious and affect about 150,000 babies born in the US each year. Common birth defects include spina bifida, caused by inadequate folic acid during early pregnancy and clubfoot. Spina bifida occurs when the bones of the spinal column do not fully close, leaving an opening. Early prenatal surgery may help repair some birth defects. Fetal alcohol syndrome, caused by drinking during pregnancy, can result in physical deformities and neurological issues. Cerebral palsy is caused by brain injury before or during birth and results in difficulties with movement and posture. Down syndrome, caused by an extra 21st chromosome, leads to intellectual

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that cause limitations in movement and posture due to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. It is diagnosed based on a motor impairment, static brain lesion, and injury occurring before age 2. Common causes include prematurity, infection, stroke, and birth asphyxia. CP is classified based on affected limbs and type of movement abnormality such as spastic, dyskinetic, or ataxic. Evaluation involves history, exam assessing tone and reflexes, and neuroimaging to identify brain lesions and timing of injury.
Dr. Suresh Kumar Murugesan is presenting on cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to damage to the brain. The presentation covers the causes of cerebral palsy, types of cerebral palsy, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment including medication, therapy, surgery and assistive devices, and prevention strategies.

Epilepsy is the third most common neurological disorder affecting 2.3 million Americans. Nearly 200,000 new cases occur each year. The main goals of treatment are to lessen the risk of injury from seizures, reduce prolonged seizures, prevent sudden unexplained death, lessen cognitive effects of frequent seizures, and improve quality of life. Treatment options include anti-seizure medications, the ketogenic diet, vagus nerve stimulation, and epilepsy surgery for treatment-resistant cases where the seizure focus is localized to one brain region. School nurses play an important role by creating individualized health care and emergency care plans for students with epilepsy.
Physical disabilities and health impairments can affect children's ability to move, feel, and function. They include conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and asthma. In the 2003-2004 school year, over 67,000 students received special education services under the orthopedic impairment category and over 449,000 under the other health impairments category. Physical disabilities are caused by various genetic and acquired factors and can range from mild to severe.
Cerebral palsy is an abnormality of motor function that is acquired before or during early childhood and affects movement, posture, and muscle tone. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, which can occur during pregnancy, birth, or shortly after. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, ataxic, athetoid, and mixed. Treatment focuses on physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as medications to manage symptoms, while the ultimate goal is for children with cerebral palsy to lead full and happy lives.
A child named Zenna was diagnosed with epilepsy. Zenna's mom is pregnant and was told to take bed rest due to the risk of premature birth. Zenna's mom needs resources to help care for Zenna and support from family. Zenna needs attention for her needs and close monitoring in case of seizures. Families of children with epilepsy can access support from organizations like Epilepsy Canada, Epilepsy Toronto, and SickKids Epilepsy Classroom.
This document provides information about counseling for children with cerebral palsy. It begins with defining cerebral palsy as a group of nonprogressive conditions that cause physical disability due to damage to the motor control centers of the developing brain. It then discusses the various causes of cerebral palsy, types including spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, and mixed, signs and symptoms, speech and language challenges, treatments such as medications, therapies and surgeries, and the importance of counseling for families dealing with the diagnosis. Counseling can help families cope with the challenges and adjust to caring for a child with cerebral palsy by providing information, support, and allowing them to express emotions about the diagnosis.
Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture, caused by abnormal development or damage to the brain. It appears early in life and causes disabilities like slow learning of movements. There are three main types - spastic, athetoid, and ataxic - depending on the affected part of the brain. Cerebral palsy is usually caused by issues during pregnancy or early childhood like prematurity, lack of oxygen, infection, or genetic abnormalities. Symptoms range from minor motor difficulties to inability to walk or involuntary movements. Research aims to find treatments and cures.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

1. What is CCM3?
For teachers and school personnel
CCM3 is a genetic mutation that can cause people to develop cerebral cavernous angiomas.
Cerebral cavernous angiomas are blood vessel defects in the brain and spinal cord that look
like mulberries. Cavernous angiomas are leaky, can grow quite large, and can cause
seizures, headaches, and stroke-like symptoms.
This particular mutation is believed to be ultra-rare. There are only 30-50 people in the
United States who are diagnosed and an equivalent number in Europe.
There are a range of symptoms that can accompany this illness. Some people are mildly
affected and have few symptoms throughout their life. Others may be more severely
affected with multiple hemorrhages that can lead to brain surgeries at very young ages,
including in infancy. Approximately 50% of people with the CCM3 genetic mutation are
likely to have their first hemorrhage before age 15. Children will develop more cavernous
angiomas over their lifetime and a hemorrhage can occur at any time. There are currently
no medications to treat the cavernous angiomas themselves, although some children may
be on medication to treat symptoms caused by the cavernous angioma such as seizures,
anxiety disorders, or pain.
A child’s deficits, if any, are determined in large part by the location of the active cavernous
angiomas and of previous brain or spinal surgeries. In general, a teacher can expect that a
child with the CCM3 mutation may be more easily fatigued than other students; fatigue is
an effect of any kind of brain trauma. While children with CCM3 are more likely to have
attention deficit than other children, treatment with stimulants for these children is
controversial because the effect of these medications on cavernous angiomas is not known.
Children with the CCM3 genetic mutation are also more likely to be over-stimulated by
typical school situations which may result in diminished emotional or behavioral control. We
encourage frequent neuropsychological and educational testing of children with the CCM3
mutation to identify any existing or developing learning issues including attention deficit or
specific learning disabilities.
2. A child with the CCM3 genetic mutation may have frequent medical appointments. They can
anticipate annual or more frequent MRI’s or CT scans as well appointments and testing with
neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other specialists as warranted. They may be in physical,
occupational, vision, speech, or social skills therapy. They may undergo EEGs or sleep
studies.
As a teacher, please inform the parent if the student:

conscious control or having a “stop-and-stare” minute
2. Has increased difficulty with attention or becomes unusually irritable or anxious
3. Is more fatigued than usual
4. Has new onset language, writing, or math difficulties
It is a medical emergency if the student:
1. Complains of a severe headache
2. Has an episode of projectile vomiting
3. Loses or has sudden decrease in a function – double vision or blind spots, limb
weakness or numbness, one-sided facial droopiness , inability to talk
4. Has a tonic clonic (grand mal) seizure without a previous history of seizure
Parents of children with the CCM3 genetic mutation appreciate your help in monitoring their
children. Because of the amount of time our children spend with you, you may be the first
one to notice a change that indicates the beginning of a hemorrhage. While we would all like
our children to have as normal a childhood as possible, preserving health and implementing
adaptations that can benefit our children as students are most important.
