The document discusses the history and definitions of intellectual disability/mental retardation. It covers terms that were previously used like "idiot" and "moron" and explains newer terms like "intellectual disability." Causes include genetic/chromosomal factors as well as environmental influences. Characteristics of intellectual disability can include difficulties with learning, social skills, adaptive behaviors, attention, memory, and speech/language. The document outlines assessment methods and teaching strategies for students with intellectual disabilities. It also describes several specific genetic syndromes associated with intellectual disability like Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and phenylketonuria.
Specific learning disorder - reading disorder, mathematics disorder, and disorder of written expression and learning disorder NOS .
neurodevelopmental disorder produced by the interactions of genetic and environmental factors that influence the brain's ability to perceive or process verbal and nonverbal information efficiently.

This document is aimed at providing brief information about Intellectual disability and legal definitions of ID given by different organizations.
"Intellectual disability is a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. This disability originates before the age of 22."
There are four levels of ID:
Mild
Moderate
Severe
Profound
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) previously known as pervasive developmental disorder is a childhood disorder characterized by lack of communication skills and social interactions resulting in social withdrawal

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

What is the History of
Mental Retardation/Intellectual
Disabilities?
• Early History
– Rejection and isolation
• 20th Century
– Hospitals and institutions were provided.
– Eugenics movement
– Rise of advocacy organizations and court challenges
– Passage of IDEA in 1975
4. Taylor/Smiley/Richards,
Exceptional Students
Why the Use of Two Terms?
• Mental Retardation vs. Intellectual
Disabilities
– Negative connotations for MR, but used in
IDEA 04
– ID is less stigmatizing, but may be a less clear
term than MR
5. What is Mental Retardation
• An individual is considered to have
mental retardation if:
– Intellectual functioning IQ <70
– Significant limitations in tow or more
adaptive skill areas
– Present from childhood
6. IDEA Definition
“Mental retardation means significantly
subaverage general intellectual
functioning existing concurrently with
deficits in adaptive behavior and
manifested during the developmental
period, that adversely affects a child’s
educational performance.”
7. AAMR 2002 Definition
“Mental retardation is a disability
characterized by significant limitations
both in intellectual functioning and in
adaptive behavior as expressed in
conceptual, social, and practical adaptive
skills. This disability originates before
age 18.”
8.
9. ICD-10
• Tenth revision of the International
Classification of Diseases from the World
Health Organization
• Characterizes MR as a condition resulting
from a failure of the mind to develop
• Four levels
10.
11.
12. What are adaptive skills?
Adaptive skill areas are those daily living
skills needed to live, work and play in the
community
13. Adaptive Skill Areas
• Communication
• Self-care
• Home living
• Social skills
• Leisure
• Health & safety
• Self-direction
• Functional academics
• Community use
• Work
14.
15. Mild Mental Retardation
• Previously referred to as “educable”
• Largest segment of those with MR (85%)
• Typically develop social/communication
skills during preschool years, minimal
impairment in sensorimotor areas, often
indistinguishable from “typicals” until
later age
• By late teens acquire skills up to
approximately the 6th grade level
16. Moderate Mental Retardation
• Previously referred to as “trainable”
• About 10% of those with MR
• Most acquire communication skills during early
childhood years
• Generally benefit from social/vocational training and
with moderate supervision can attend to personal care
• Difficulties recognizing social conventions which
interferes with peer relations in adolescence
• Unlikely to progress beyond the 2nd grade academically
• Often adapt well to life in the community in supervised
settings (performing unskilled or semiskilled work)
17. Severe Mental Retardation
• 3 – 4% of those with MR
• Acquire little or no communicative speech in
childhood; may learn to talk by school age
and be trained in elementary self-care skills
• Can master sight reading “survival” words
• Able to perform simple tasks as adults in
closely supervised settings
• Most adapt well to life in the community,
living in group homes or with families
18. Profound Mental Retardation
• 1 – 2% of those with MR
• Most have an identifiable neurological
condition that accounts for their MR
• Considerable impairments in
sensorimotor functioning
• Optimal development may occur in a
highly structured environment with
constant aid
19. Prevalence
• 1% (1 – 3% in developed countries)
• The prevalence of MR due to biological
factors is similar among children of all SES;
however, certain etiological factors are linked
to lower SES (e.g., lead poisoning &
premature birth)
• More common among males (1.5:1)
• In cases without a specifically identified
biological cause, the MR is usually milder;
and individuals from lower SES are over-
represented

advance organizers, “think-aloud”
model, guided practice, independent
practice, post-organizers
– Focus on task analysis
– Focus on sequencing tasks for recognition,
recall, reconstruction
– Focus on presentation and practice, including
use of prompts
• Generalization
27. Down Syndrome (trisomy 21
syndrome)
• Down syndrome has been the most investigated,
and most discussed syndrome in mental
retardation.
• Children with this syndrome were originally
called mongoloid because of their physical
characteristics of slanted eyes, epicanthal folds,
and flat nose.
• Despite a plethora of theories and hypotheses
advanced in the past 100 years, the cause of
Down syndrome is still unknown.
28. A. A young child with Down syndrome. B. A
young adult with fragile X syndrome.
29. Fragile X Syndrome
• Fragile X syndrome is the second most common
single cause of mental retardation.
• The syndrome results from a mutation on the X
chromosome at what is known as the fragile site
(Xq27.3).
• The typical phenotype includes a large, long
head and ears, short stature, hyperextensible
joints, and postpubertal macroorchidism.
• The mental retardation ranges from mild to
severe.
32. Prader-Willi Syndrome
• Prader-Willi syndrome is postulated to result
from a small deletion involving chromosome
15, usually occurring sporadically.
• Its prevalence is less than 1 of 10,000.
• Persons with the syndrome exhibit
compulsive eating behavior and often obesity,
mental retardation, hypogonadism, small
stature, hypotonia, and small hands and feet.
• Children with the syndrome often have
oppositional and defiant behavior.
34. Cat's Cry (Cri-du-Chat)
Syndrome
• Children with cat's cry syndrome lack part of
chromosome 5.
• They are severely retarded and
show many signs often associated with
chromosomal aberrations, such as
microcephaly, low-set ears, oblique palpebral
fissures, hypertelorism, and micrognathia.
• The characteristic cat-like cry caused by
laryngeal abnormalities that gave the
syndrome its name gradually changes and
disappears with increasing age.
37. Phenylketonuria
• PKU was first described by Ivar Asbjörn Fölling
in 1934 as the paradigmatic inborn error of
metabolism. PKU is transmitted as a simple
recessive autosomal mendelian trait and occurs
in about 1 of every 10,000 to 15,000 live births.
• The basic metabolic defect in PKU is an inability
to convert phenylalanine, an essential amino
acid, to paratyrosine because of the absence or
inactivity of the liver enzyme phenylalanine
hydroxylase, which catalyzes the conversion.
38.
39. Phenylketonuria
• Most patients with PKU are severely retarded, but
some are reported to have borderline or normal
intelligence. Eczema, vomiting, and convulsions
occur in about a third of all patients.
• They frequently have temper tantrums and often
display bizarre movements of their bodies and
upper extremities, including twisting hand
mannerisms; their behavior sometimes
resembles that of children with autism or
schizophrenia.
40.
41. Rett's Disorder
• Rett's disorder is hypothesized to be an X-
linked dominant mental retardation
syndrome that is degenerative and affects
only females.
• Deterioration in communications skills, motor
behavior, and social functioning starts at
about 1 year of age. Autistic-like symptoms
are common, as are ataxia, facial grimacing,
teeth-grinding, and loss of speech.
43. Neurofibromatosis
• Also called von Recklinghausen's disease,
neurofibromatosis is the most common of the
neurocutaneous syndromes caused by a single
dominant gene, which may be inherited or be
a new mutation. The disorder occurs in about
1 of 5,000 births. and is characterized by cafe
au lait spots on the skin and by neurofibromas,
including optic gliomas and acoustic
neuromas, caused by abnormal cell migration.
• Mild mental retardation occurs in up to one
third of those with the disease.
44.
45. Tuberous Sclerosis
• Tuberous sclerosis is the second most
common of the neurocutaneous
syndromes; a progressive mental
retardation occurs in up to two thirds of
all affected persons.
• It occurs in about 1 of 15,000 persons
and is inherited by autosomal dominant
transmission.
47. Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome
• Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a rare disorder
caused by a deficiency of an enzyme
involved in purine metabolism.
• The disorder is X-linked; patients have
mental retardation, microcephaly,
seizures, choreoathetosis, and spasticity.
49. Adrenoleukodystrophy
• The most common of several disorders of
sudanophilic cerebral sclerosis,
adrenoleukodystrophy is characterized by diffuse
demyelination of the cerebral white matter
resulting in visual and intellectual impairment,
seizures, spasticity, and progression to death.
• The disorder is transmitted by a sex-linked gene
located on the distal end of the long arm of the X
chromosome.
• The clinical onset is generally between 5 and 8
years of age, with early seizures, disturbances in
gait, and mild intellectual impairment.
51. Maple Syrup Urine Disease
• An inborn error of metabolism caused by
defective oxidative decarboxylation of )-keto
acids of leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
• These branched-chain amino acids are present
in the blood and urine in high concentrations.
• Manifestations of disease include feeding
difficulties, physical and mental retardation,
and a urine odor similar to that of maple syrup;
neonatal death is common.
52. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
• A typical phenotypic picture of facial
dysmorphism that includes
hypertelorism, microcephaly, short
palpebral fissures, inner epicanthal
folds, and a short, turned-up nose.
• The entire syndrome occurs in up to
15 percent of babies born to women
who regularly ingest large amounts
of alcohol.
