Synopsis

This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of documents on the subject of mental retardation and developmental disabilities. Developmental disabilities are birth defects that cause lifelong problems with how a body part or system works. They include: Nervous system disabilities affecting how the brain, spinal cord and nervous system function. They cause mental retardation, including Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome. They also cause learning and behavioral disorders, such as autism. Sensory-related disabilities, which can cause vision, hearing and sight problems. Metabolic disorders such as phenylketonuria, which affect how your body processes the materials it needs to function. Degenerative disorders such as Rett syndrome, which might only become apparent when children are older and can cause physical and mental problems. Most developmental disabilities have no cure, but you can often treat the symptoms. Physical, speech and occupational therapy might help. Special education classes and psychological counseling can also help. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.
