Week 8 -ALP (Intellectual disability)

Main post

Then, develop an organizational scheme for the important information about the disorder.

Create a study guide for your assigned disorder. Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references. You should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the  DSM-5-TR but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.

Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:

Signs and symptoms according to the  DSM-5-TR

Differential diagnoses

Incidence

Development and course

Prognosis

Considerations related to culture, gender, age.

Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects.

Nonpharmacological treatments

Diagnostics and labs

Comorbidities

Legal and ethical considerations

Pertinent patient education considerations
