This document discusses developmental coordination disorder (DCD), also known as dyspraxia. It defines DCD as a lifelong learning difficulty affecting motor skills. Children with DCD struggle with gross and fine motor control, which can impact learning, social skills, and everyday activities. The document outlines symptoms, possible causes related to brain development, and common comorbidities like dyslexia. It emphasizes the importance of intervention programs to help children develop motor skills and prevent long-term effects on health, self-esteem, and academic/social functioning.
The study compared the effectiveness of two novel balance training programs (Functional Movement-Power Training and Functional Movement Training) to no training in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder. 161 children were randomly assigned to one of the three groups and underwent their respective interventions twice a week for 3 months. Outcome measures of balance strategies and neuromuscular performance were taken before and after the intervention period using computerized dynamic posturography and manual muscle testing. The results showed that both novel training programs improved balance and strength to a greater extent than no training.
Dyspraxia is a condition characterized by impaired motor skills and coordination due to problems with planning and executing movements. It affects approximately 1 in 20 students and can be caused by birth trauma or lack of nutrients early in life. Children with dyspraxia have difficulties with both gross and fine motor skills like running, catching balls, and handwriting. They also often struggle with speech, balance, midline crossing, and perceptual-motor skills. Regular structured practice of controlled movements is important for remediation and intellectual development in children with dyspraxia.
This document provides an overview of several neurodevelopmental disorders as defined in the DSM-5, including intellectual disability, communication disorders, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, specific learning disorder, motor disorders, and other conditions. Key aspects like diagnostic criteria, prevalence, developmental patterns, and differential diagnoses are summarized for each disorder.
This document discusses sensory processing disorder and how it can lead to challenging behaviors in children. It defines sensory processing disorder as difficulty processing and responding to sensory information from the senses. Children with autism or developmental disabilities often have sensory issues. The causes are not fully known but may involve irregular brain function. The document describes how children can be either sensory seekers who crave stimulation or sensory avoiders who are overstimulated easily. It provides interventions for each type and tips for managing tantrums which may result from sensory overload.
Developmental disorders originate in childhood and cause impairment in different areas such as learning, communication, motor skills, and attention. They include conditions like autism, ADHD, developmental coordination disorder, and learning disabilities. Causes can include genetics, environment, early childhood stress, and other health conditions. Treatment focuses on clinical therapies, complementary therapies, biomedical treatments, and family support through various service delivery models.
The document discusses treatment options for dyspraxia such as occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and perceptual motor training. It also analyzes data from a study of 5 students with learning problems that found issues with balance, gross motor skills, and predominantly fine motor skills. The role of teachers in supporting students with dyspraxia is also outlined, including not comparing them to others and ensuring understanding of lessons.

1) ADHD is characterized by diminished sustained attention and high impulsivity compared to others of the same age. It has three main types and affects 5-10% of the US population, predominantly males.
2) ADHD has genetic and neurological causes like central nervous system insults and dysfunction of the noradrenergic and dopamine systems. Stimulant medications are the first-line treatment as they target these systems.
3) Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms, impairment, history, and ruling out other conditions. Treatment includes medication, behavioral modifications, and accommodations at home and school to help manage symptoms.
Chiari malformation is a neurological disorder where the cerebellum descends from the skull, putting pressure on the brain and spine. Common symptoms include headaches, vision problems, balance issues, and muscle weakness. Treatment may include conservative management or posterior fossa decompression surgery to relieve compression. Life with Chiari can be challenging, as symptoms vary daily and simple tasks may cause exhaustion. Support and understanding from others is important.
mental retardation power point presentationjagan _jaggi
Intellectual disability (ID), once called mental retardation, is characterized by below-average intelligence or mental ability and a lack of skills necessary for day-to-day living. People with intellectual disabilities can and do learn new skills, but they learn them more slowly.
The DSM-IV definition utilizes four degrees of severity that reflect the level of intellectual impairment: IQ levels between 50–55 to approximately 70 characterize mild mental retardation, 35—40 to 50–55 characterize moderate mental retardation, 20–25 to 35–40 characterize severe mental retardation,
This document provides information on learning disabilities. It defines learning disabilities as disorders involving the basic psychological processes of understanding or using language that affect areas like reading, writing, spelling, and math. It notes specific conditions are excluded, and that learning disabilities are characterized by academic underachievement compared to a child's overall intellectual ability. Diagnosis involves identifying a significant difference between intelligence and achievement testing scores. Potential causes and the most common types of learning disabilities are also outlined.
Sensory Processing Disorder is under-recognized among medical professionals but known well among Speech language and occupational therapists. Also known as Sensory Integration Dysfunction, it overlaps with Autism Spectrum, Aspergers, ADD, and ADHD or may be its own disorder. Person with this are often highly reactive to their environment (but can be under reactive). Knowing how to structure their environment, provide family and client support, and calm secondary symptoms with Homeobotanicals is key for managing it.
Sensory processing disorder affects how the brain processes sensory information from the environment. It can cause individuals to be over-responsive or under-responsive to sensory input like touch, sound, and movement. A sensory room is designed to help individuals with SPD by providing controlled sensory activities and equipment tailored to their needs, with the goal of improving their ability to regulate and respond to sensory stimulation.
Neurodevelopmental disorders are impairments of brain or central nervous system growth and development that affect emotion, learning, self-control, and memory. They can be caused by factors like genetic disorders, infections, trauma, or nutritional deficiencies. Common neurodevelopmental disorders include intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and motor or communication disorders. The document outlines diagnostic guidelines for neurodevelopmental disorders and provides definitions for conditions like dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression.

This presentation contains detailed knowledge about Down's Syndrome its types, clinical presentation, diagnosis, medical and physio therapeutic management of the condition.
Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how a baby’s body forms and functions as it grows during pregnancy and after birth. Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes. Babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes, chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is ‘trisomy.’ Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21. This extra copy changes how the baby’s body and brain develop, which can cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby.

The document discusses approaches to cognitive rehabilitation including education, process training, strategy development and implementation, and functional activities training. It provides examples of cognitive rehabilitation strategies and techniques.
Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by difficulties with social communication and restricted behaviors. Screening with a validated tool at 18- and 24-month well-child visits can assist with early detection. Applied behavior analysis-based early intensive behavioral intervention delivered over an extended time frame can improve cognitive ability, language, and adaptive skills. Medical management may also help target comorbid conditions, though behavioral intervention is usually the primary treatment approach.
Motor development refers to the development of a child's bones, muscles, and ability to move and manipulate their environment. It includes the development of strength, speed, and accuracy of movement. Motor development has two sections - gross motor development which involves large body movements, and fine motor development which involves smaller more precise movements. A child's motor development is influenced by factors like age, genetics, environment, muscle tone, and sex. Boys generally show superior development of skills requiring speed and strength while girls show superiority in skills requiring concentration and accuracy. Motor development is important for education as it assists learning, social development, and helps children explore career options.
Intellectual disabilities are characterized by deficits in cognitive functioning and adaptive behavior that develop during childhood. They are diagnosed when a person has an IQ of 70 or below along with impairments in daily living skills.
Intellectual disabilities can have prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal causes such as genetic syndromes, low birth weight, brain injuries, or environmental factors. They are classified based on severity of the deficit. Early intervention programs focus on developing skills, while K-12 programs may include inclusion, functional academics, behavior therapy, or vocational training depending on the child's needs. Teaching students with intellectual disabilities requires direct instruction broken into clear steps with a focus on sequencing, practice, and presentation of material

This document discusses learning disabilities/disorders. It defines learning disabilities as disorders that affect how a person takes in or expresses information. Specifically, it can impact reading, writing, math, listening, speaking, reasoning and organizational skills. The causes are neurological and genetic. Common types include dyslexia (reading), dyscalculia (math) and dysgraphia (writing). Treatments focus on individualized education plans, specialized instruction techniques, and continuous practice of skills. It's important to recognize learning disabilities to provide appropriate support and accommodations for those affected.
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a chronic motor skill impairment that affects a child's ability to perform motor tasks and impacts daily living activities. It is defined by the DSM-IV as impaired motor performance that cannot be explained by age, intellect, or other neurological disorders. Children with DCD may achieve motor skills at typical ages but have difficulty generalizing skills and their motor problems persist into adulthood. DCD can be accompanied by learning disabilities, speech issues, and attention deficits. While the pathophysiology is unknown, possible causes include frontal and parietal lobe lesions as well as prematurity and low birth weight. Treatment focuses on determining appropriate sports/activities, addressing physical impairments, and providing interventions to

DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA of THE NEONATAL HIP JOINT, Dr TRẦN NGÂN CHÂUhungnguyenthien
This study used ultrasound to screen 1,622 hip joints in 811 neonates at high risk of developmental dysplasia of the hip using the Graf and Terjesen methods. The study found 167 joints (10.29%) with dysplasia, with a higher rate detected using the Terjesen method of femoral head coverage ratio compared to the Graf alpha angle method. Follow-up of 241 cases found that most improved with physiotherapy but some required longer-term monitoring. The study concludes that ultrasound is useful for early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip in the first three months, and that the Graf and Terjesen methods should be used together for assessment.
1) The study evaluated 55 children treated with Pavlik harnesses for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to identify early ultrasound predictors of late acetabular dysplasia or avascular necrosis.
2) Three sonographic findings on initial ultrasounds predicted late sequelae: a dynamic coverage index of 22% or less, an alpha angle less than 43 degrees, and abnormal echogenicity of the cartilaginous roof.
3) Abnormal echogenicity of the cartilaginous roof, indicating early transformation of the roof cartilage, was the most specific single predictor of residual dysplasia after Pavlik harness treatment.

The document discusses learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It defines learning disabilities as disorders that affect processes like reading, writing, math, memory, and executive functions. Learning disabilities are neurological and can occur across intelligence levels. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects around 3-7% of school-aged children and often co-occurs with learning disabilities. The document provides examples of simulations to illustrate challenges faced by those with learning disabilities or ADHD.
Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Emotional/Behavioral DisordersErin Waltman
This document discusses learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It defines learning disabilities and ADHD, describes their characteristics and prevalence. It discusses the identification process and assessments used to diagnose these disabilities. It also outlines common academic and behavioral issues associated with them, as well as recommended intervention strategies.
Learning disabilities are disorders that affect around 10-15% of children and cause difficulties with reading, writing, math, or language skills despite average or above average intelligence. They are caused by issues with information processing and perception. Common types include dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. Children with learning disabilities may experience low self-esteem and behavioral problems due to school struggles. Diagnosis involves evaluating a child's strengths, deficits, and needs, while treatment focuses on specialized teaching methods, perceptual training, language therapy, and sometimes medication.
The document defines the key differences between disabilities and handicaps. A disability refers to a physical or mental condition that limits a person's activities, while a handicap is a condition that restricts a person's ability to function. The document then provides examples of common disabilities like autism, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, and hearing or visual impairments. It explains that disabilities may require an Individualized Education Program to provide supports, while handicaps refer to the limitations imposed by disabilities that can sometimes be corrected through assistive technologies or special education.
This document discusses interventions for intellectual disability (ID). It describes early intervention programs that provide enriched environments for young children with ID to enhance their intellectual and social skills. Behavioral treatments aim to control negative behaviors through techniques like functional analysis and using reinforcement to strengthen desirable behaviors. Early educational intervention is most effective during preschool years. A multi-component approach is needed considering the individual's development, family/institutional setting, and community. Screening during pregnancy can identify risks and preventions can help when causes are known like fetal alcohol syndrome.

About ADHD(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)MoynulHasan3
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It often appears before school age and about half of children with ADHD continue experiencing symptoms into adulthood. Diagnosis involves observing a child's behavior in multiple environments, reports from parents and teachers, interviews, and tests. Potential causes include abnormalities in dopamine levels and the frontal-striatal brain region, as well as environmental factors like stress. Treatment options are drug therapy, behavior therapy, or a combination of the two.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Children with ADHD may display behaviors like hyperactivity, impulsiveness, inattention, poor coordination, disorganization, and mood swings. The causes of ADHD are not fully known but studies show it tends to run in families and is more common in boys. Effective treatment of ADHD uses a variety of approaches including medication, behavioral therapies, school interventions, social skills training, and parenting support.
This document provides information on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including its diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Some key points include:
- ADHD is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. It has predominantly inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, or combined presentations.
- Genetic and neurological factors are involved in its etiology. Stimulant medications like methylphenidate and amphetamines are commonly used treatments.
- ADHD symptoms often emerge by age 3 and persist into adolescence or adulthood in about 50% of cases, though hyperactivity may decrease over time.
This document provides an overview of behavior and learning concerns that are common in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). It summarizes data showing that 65% of boys with DMD experience behavior concerns and 61% experience learning concerns. Potential causes of these issues are explored, including how DMD impacts brain functioning. Specific neurobehavioral disorders seen in DMD like ADHD, autism, anxiety, and social problems are then described. Learning disorders like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia that are prevalent in DMD are also outlined. The document concludes by recommending treatments and interventions for these common behavior and learning issues.

This document provides guidelines for the assessment and management of ADHD in children and adolescents. It discusses what ADHD is, risk factors, diagnosis, comorbidities, treatment options including pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Treatment aims to reduce core symptoms, prevent complications, and improve quality of life. Stimulant medications are often first-line treatment but can cause side effects that require monitoring and management.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects about 5% of children and 2.5% of adults globally. Genetics play a major role in causation, with heritability estimated around 75-80%. Neuroimaging studies show decreased prefrontal cortex volume and activity. Stimulant medications and behavioral therapies are effective treatments. Left untreated, individuals with ADHD are at higher risk for academic underachievement, accidents, substance abuse, and legal/occupational problems.
Chapter 9: Attention Deficity Hyperactivity DisorderSue Anderson
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting about 3-7% of school-aged children, with boys being affected more often than girls. It is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is caused by differences in the frontal brain regions and neurotransmitters. Students with ADHD often have coexisting disabilities and academic and social challenges. Effective interventions include classroom accommodations, behavioral and academic strategies, social skills training, medication management, and functional behavior assessment.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
