Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities (IDD) in the Context of the
Family
Definition: 3 Main Criteria
1) Limitations in intellectual functioning (focus on IQ = limit)
2) Limitations in adaptive behaviour: social, practical and conceptual
3) Neurodevelopmental: diagnosed before 18 years of age (arbitratry_
Considerations
- The individual’s functioning may improve but limitations are life ling
- Influence of the environment on individuals functioning
- Build upon individuals’ strengths rather than focusing on limitations
What you Languages: Person first!
- Respectfully put the person before the disability
Prevalence
- Approx 1 % of the population
- But more than 1% of you future intervention population (health and social sectors)
Eriology
- Genetic (Chromosomal)
- Parental and maternal factors (age, placenta)
- Infectious (herpes, rubella, CMV, meningitis)
- Teratogenic (alcohol, drugs, toxins and other substances)
- Malignancies (brain tumors, treatment effects)
- Trauma (TBIs, anoxia surgery, childbirth complications)
- Often unknown
- Food for thought: nature vs nurture, human contact, opportunities for development,
social deprivation, implication of the family
Comorbidities
- Common examples: ASD, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, FAS, fragile X
- Double diagnosis: anxiety and mood disorders, ADHD, impulse-control disorders,
substance use
- Medical: Cardiac, endocrine, seizure activity (eg epilepsy)
- Sensor: auditory, visual
- Motor: speech production, paralysis, movement production and control
- Lifestyle related: smoking, obesity, sedentary nutrition
