Neurodevelopmental disorders: Cluster 2 of the proposed meta-structure for DSM-V and ICD-11

et al. 2009

Background DSM-IV and ICD-10 are atheoretical and largely descriptive. Although this achieves good reliability, the validity of diagnoses can be increased by an understanding of risk factors and other clinical features. In an effort to group mental disorders on this basis, five clusters have been proposed. We now consider the second cluster, namely neurodevelopmental disorders. Method We reviewed the literature in relation to 11 validating criteria proposed by a DSM-V Task Force Study Group. Results This cluster reflects disorders of neurodevelopment rather than a `childhood' disorders cluster. It comprises disorders subcategorized in DSM-IV and ICD-10 as Mental Retardation; Learning, Motor, and Communication Disorders; and Pervasive Developmental Disorders. Although these disorders seem to be heterogeneous, they share similarities on some risk and clinical factors. There is evidence of a neurodevelopmental genetic phenotype, the disorders have an early emerging and continuing course, and all have salient cognitive symptoms. Within-cluster co-morbidity also supports grouping these disorders together. Other childhood disorders currently listed in DSM-IV share similarities with the Externalizing and Emotional clusters. These include Conduct Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Separation Anxiety Disorder. The Tic, Eating/Feeding and Elimination disorders, and Selective Mutisms were allocated to the `Not Yet Assigned' group. Conclusion Neurodevelopmental disorders meet some of the salient criteria proposed by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to suggest a classification cluster.

“…In order to assess motor impairment, the MABC (Henderson & Sugden, 1992) was selected as it is the most frequently used test to apply diagnostic criterion "A" (Geuze, Jongmans, Schoemaker, & Smits-Engelsman, 2001) that the child's motor coordination is "substantially below that expected" (American Psychiatric Association, 2000, p. 58). While it has been acknowledged that there are issues with repeating the MABC on occasions so close to each other, Sugden and Chambers's (2006) work suggested that a learning effect did not occur. It has been acknowledged that the MABC was designed as a screening tool rather than as an outcome measure but in the absence of a more suitable tool it was decided to use MABC and explore its utility as an outcome measure.…”

This study measures the effectiveness of a goal-orientated group intervention using concentrated practice schedules for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The study design is repeated measures. The sample comprises eight children with DCD, aged 7-11 years. Outcome measures are the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Harter's Scale of Perceived Competence/Harter and Pike's Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence, and clinical observations. The children set goals with the perceived efficacy and goal setting system with parents/caregivers input. The intervention used a goal-oriented approach combining motor learning and cognitive strategies consisting of eight 50-min sessions over 2 weeks. The results show significant improvements in the COPM and MABC scores following intervention but no changes in Harter's scores. Fifty-six goals were identified with 34 met totally, 12 met partially, and 10 remained unmet. A goal-oriented group intervention shows potential as an effective intervention method.

“…Our study has clinical implications. Physiotherapy or occupational therapy has been proven effective for treating motor problems, especially the task‐oriented and the cognitive‐based approaches like neuro motor task training (NMTt) and cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO‐OP) (Niemeijer, Smits‐Engelsman, & Schoemaker, 2007; Sangster et al, 2005; Sugden & Chambers, 2007). These modern intervention methods are child‐focused and help children to acquire important skills for daily activities, which can increase their quality of life.…”

“…Many studies have conclusively shown that physiotherapy of motor problems, especially child–centred, task‐oriented approaches, can ameliorate motor disability and thus quality of life (Sangster et al, 2005; Schoemaker et al, 2003; Sugden & Chambers, 2007; Watemberg et al, 2007; Wilson, 2005). Interventions can be delivered by physical therapists (which is usual in The Netherlands), or occupational therapists.…”

Undertreatment of Motor Problems in Children with ADHD

Background: Motor problems occur in 30% to 50% of children with ADHD, and have a severe impact on daily life. In clinical practice there seems to be little attention for this comorbidity with the possible consequence that these motor problems go undertreated. Method: Clinical interview and questionnaire survey of treatment by physiotherapy and factors predicting treatment of motor problems in 235 children with ADHD and 108 controls. Results: Half of motor-affected children had received physiotherapy. Treated children had more severe motor problems, and less frequently presented with comorbid anxiety and conduct disorder. Treated and untreated children were similar in age, and rated similarly on ADHD inattentive and hyperactiveimpulsive scales and parental socio-economic status. Conclusion: Currently, undertreatment of motor problems in ADHD occurs. Behavioural factors play a role in referral and intervention. Key Practitioner Message:• ADHD and motor problems are frequently co-occurring • Only half of children with ADHD receive physiotherapy treatment • Health workers should be aware of the impact of motor problems on the daily life of children with ADHD
