Key points aiming to be covered.
1. Developmental disorders are not discrete but part of a spectrum 2. Segmented training on specific learning difficulties can lead to
confusion and delays in referral as parents traverse a system3. Need for a common language and pathway4. Whole school training especially in secondary schools about
approaches not diagnoses5. Need to train those working with children with
“ behaviour” issues to check out what else MAY be going on.6. At risk kids should be automatically screened for SPLDs’7. Post 16 education needs to have a more social or medical
model// diagnosis or support?

How do we see children today?

"The children now love luxury;
they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants… They contradict their parents, chatter before company, and tyrannize their teachers”.
"The trouble with youngsters today..."

Language + behaviour
• Approximately 75% of children with identified emotional and behavioural difficulties have significant language deficits.
• The prevalence of language deficits in children who exhibit anti-social behaviours is 10 times higher than in the general population.
![Page 17: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Facts Summary by the Centre for Integrated Healthcare
Research, 2006
EBD children with unsuspected receptive disorders were rated the most delinquent, the most depressed (by parents) and aggressive (by teachers) and had more severe challenging behaviour.
Children with expressive language disorders were rated as more socially withdrawn and anxious.
![Page 18: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
And more…….
• 10% Young offenders significant SLCI (Hamilton, 1999, Bryan 2004)
• Early language difficulties are a predictor of later difficulties- e.g. mental health problems ( Clegg,1999)
• 50% of children with speech and language difficulties have associated emotional and behavioural difficulties ( Beitchman et al, 1990)
![Page 19: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ADHD and ASD
21% of children with severe ADHD met full criteria for Asperger’s syndrome and 36% showed ‘autistic traits’ (Fitzgerald and Corvin, 2001)

“Kieran”
• Educational psychology assessment (aged 8 ½ years)• School concerns identified as before. In addition
problems identified: with• Social interaction- speaks inappropriately to teachers
and involved in disagreements with peers in the yard, • Co-ordination- poor ball skills, untidy handwriting,
difficulty holding knife and fork, • Literacy and numeracy -delayed basic attainments but
“school have not noticed any dyslexic tendency” • Advice given re-strategies to use in the school

A child is not an islandand is affected by……
• Their environment
• The tasks they are being asked to do
• Their experiences before coming into school including their social setting

• What if the child is unaware, or others

Where are YOU on the curve? (trait)
• Make some spelling errors, need to re-read words on the page, take longer than others to retain information
• Slower learning a new skill, difficulty with right and left, a bit clumsy, took longer than others to learn to drive
• Find it hard to sit still, prefer to flit from one thing to another, see the big picture but not so good at the detail
• Prefer detail, not so good at the big picture, uncomfortable in large social groups, don’t always get the jokes, take things literally
![Page 46: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
A common clinical pathwayin line with Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (DfES, 2001b),
• A graduated response • An inclusive response for childrenand professionals and parents• An evidence base response

Lets at least start with
• at risk groups
• They may be identified for a number of reasons… – behaviour, language, motor difficulties
• They represent a future risk group

Everyone's business
• Children’s mental health now seen as the business of all the people, agencies and services in contact with children and young people (EWG, 2003; Every Child Matters, 2003;
NAW, 2001; NSF, WAG 2004)

Need for an interdisciplinary approaches for the “complex” child
A right
• Who should do it?
• Can we screen all or should it be opportunistic?

Starting at Tier 1
• The Audit Commission (1999) identified three roles for Tier 1 professionals: – Early identification of mental health problems;– Offering treatment for less severe problems;– Pursuing health promotion and problem
prevention.
– BUT AGAIN NEED TO SEE NOT ONLY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

• Strategies to meet all children's needs
• Identifying when they are not working
• Screening for complex difficulties- not as an add on but as an essential ( sticky kids)
• Again.. There is the evidence PRU, LAC, SLI, DCD, ADHD……………………….

The present situation
• May only get help when your bucket is in one colour

became that colour• Refer when the bucket is full/half full without
trying to empty it first• Different levels in different places get

3. Enrichment
4. Additional guidance by SENCO
5. Referral

If this approach is not working
Then check out symptoms and signs
BUT
be aware of the overlap

Referral only
• When all previous stages completed
• Unless there are red flags seen
![Page 71: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Growing up - impact on the family
• Physically bigger• Taking up more family time than other siblings• Parents losing time from work because of
difficulties• Coping with puberty and experiences at a
different stage to others• Gaps in provision• Problem coping with transition from primary to
secondary school
![Page 74: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Impact on family
• Mothers of children with ASD showed 50% higher rates of depression– associated with low levels of family support
and with bringing up a child with higher levels of challenging behaviour ( Bromley et al, 2004)
• A strong association between parental emotional distress and unmet need was found. – Parents reported -more autism-specific
intervention and support ( Hare et al, 2004)
![Page 75: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Leaving school
• No formal structures unless continue with college/university
• Can get lost- no formal systems• Fewer formalised social opportunities• Less visible support from parents• Less forgiving support networks• No negotiator/translator to help mediate• Increased risk.. forensic pathway, sexually

What is emerging adolescence?
Arnett and Taber (1994) states that
“Adolescence spans most of the second decade of life and is a period of economic dependency and knowledge acquisition in which information is accumulated and problem - solving techniques are learned.
Adulthood is the stage in which knowledge is applied.”
![Page 83: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Key factor: CHOICE
cured of “Dyschoolia”
![Page 84: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
![Page 85: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
“Socially( at school) I tended to be isolated, but this was partly me trying to isolate myself from those who were not understanding. I ate my lunch inside classrooms, spent breaks in the library etc. anything I could to keep away from people. Throughout my entire secondary school experience I had about four friends, and they were all outcasts of one form or another, thus my group of friends were quite understanding and ignored my 'quirkiness'. I think finding people who can empathise is very important, and is possibly the only reason I survived school at all. At university I could start all over again, no one was knew who I was and therefore their opinion was not clouded by a view of me when I was at my most clumsy.”

To become an adult
Need for separation and individuation (Meeus et al,2005) has been seen as essential developmental stages to go through in order to reach adulthood
![Page 87: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
• Separation from parents may be later than peers
• Individuation may be later as less peer-peer interaction
Delay in this process
![Page 88: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
• Evidence in children with DCD :– Lower general self concept-Skinner and Piek,
2001 – Stigmatisation ( Segal et al, 2002)– Internalisation (Sigurdsson et al, 2002)
– Therefore less social practice
Lower peer-peer interaction
![Page 89: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
“I was later than most of my peers in starting to experiment, starting just a few weeks before my 18th birthday. I didn't really have a lot of people to go out with, and I didn't usually enjoy it when I did because it simply seemed to be a less controlled extension of the social dynamics of school... i.e. I was outcast to varying degrees. Now, at university, I definitely don't drink more than some, but I'd say I was about average for my peer group at the moment”
• Third year student
![Page 90: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
“I certainly remember when I was at school; some of my friends did go out to pubs/clubs a couple of years before being 18. I never did though. I only went out with them, the night of the day the A-Levels results came out. I also didn't go out again, despite being at uni, until that Christmas. At university, I didn't go out until the end of the second semester in 1st year. So in school and university I have been going out later than my peers.”
• 2nd year student
![Page 91: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Factors at play
• Less social experiences.. leads to more social isolation
• Greater need for parental support• A model that has concentrated on deficits e.g.
practising handwriting etc• NOT a strengths model- allowing the child to see
what they CAN do.• Little focus on gaining the core set of skills
( especially if academically able)… e.g. organisation/independent living skills
![Page 92: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Lerner at al (2001) describe a
3 stage process in progressing towards adulthood
1. Trying out a range of skills and having a wide range of goals to start with
2. Narrowing down strengths
3. Learning to optimise these areas
![Page 93: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Adults with DCD may have poorer ability in appraising a situation and to goal set accurately and create an appropriate hierarchy of importance
![Page 94: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
SOC model(Baltes, 1999)
• Successful adults select what they CAN do
• Optimise their skills
• Compensate for their difficulties
![Page 95: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
“ I have difficult time being organised on every level, even in thought. My wife thinks that if I plan out every single level of my actions before I do them whether I am driving or walking, that this will compensate for my problems. I genuinely try but often have trouble accomplishing my goal .Establishing a habit of organising everything I do is a daunting task. I have difficulties even remembering to plan everything”
(E-mail correspondence from a male, 32 years with DCD)
![Page 96: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Selection
• the development by directing and focusing resources i.e. goal setting and to produce a goal hierarchy.
• Guidance on making relevant, appropriate and achievable goal choices may be important for longer term functioning.
![Page 97: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Optimisation
-acquiring, refining, and applying goal relevant means or resources in the selected goals.
• Creating goal hierarchies is important. • Children with DCD may remain at a stage of over
selection and poor optimization resulting in following too many and the wrong goals.
• This may have been associated with using a deficit model pursued by professionals in the past concentrating for too long on the skills they found the hardest.
![Page 98: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Compensation
Additional skills need to be acquired to maintain function and reset more appropriate goals- this is termed “ loss based selection”
![Page 99: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
What factors might influence the “successful” outcomes for
adults with DCD?
• The severity of motor skill difficulties as a child
• Level of co-occurrence( e.g. ADHD/ASD)• Cognitive ability• Self esteem/self worth• Ability to make the right choices- find
strengths?• OR are there other particular resilience
factors ?
![Page 100: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Evidence that:
The longer an individual is on a particular developmental pathway the less likely he or she will deviate from this pathway
(Bowlby, 1973,Cicchetti, 1993, Sroufe, 1997)
![Page 101: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Measuring Success
• Success has been seen in individuals in populations exposed to “ incontrovertible adversity”
(Garmezy,1974, Rutter, 1979, Werner and Smith, 1992)
![Page 102: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
“the capacity to "bounce back" from adversities.”
Masten (2004)
Resilience is

• Temperament• higher IQ
• good social skills• awareness of strengths and limitations• empathy for others• an internal locus of control,• a valued social role in the household • good parent-child relationship• a sense of humour
• attractiveness to others• a belief that one’s efforts can make a difference. • supportive extended family
• successful school experiences• a close relationship with an unrelated mentor
• participation in extra curricular activities.

Preparation for success
• Attend summer school
• Work buddy
• Befriender scheme starting before the start of term/student mentor- show around campus
• Study skills and student support services
• Lecturers aware of issues
• Appropriate examination arrangements

To diagnose or not??
![Page 125: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
To receive help in university:
Disability Student Allowance
“In addition to the use of standardised measures of underlying ability, cognitive processing, and attainments in literacy (and numeracy), supplementary methods of information-gathering that inform the diagnostic process may be employed. These might include information concerning conditions such as Dyspraxia/DCD and disorders of attention, drawn from qualitative evaluations of the student’s functioning, from assessments carried out by other appropriate professionals (e.g. occupational therapists) and from recognised checklists.”

In order to receive DSA
1. Recognise you have a difficulty
2. Disclose to others
3. Have a “test” in the past 2 years
4. Show you have a motor deficit
![Page 127: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Issues
1. Awareness
2. Want to have a label and tell others
3. No where to go to be tested- have clear cut symptoms
4. Have a standardised test
5. Meet diagnostic criteria
6. Have support appropriate to you not the label
![Page 128: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Issues
1. Awareness-Insight2. Want to have a label and tell others- peer
views/fear of fixed perceptions3. No where to go to be tested- have clear cut
symptoms- few professionals4. Have a standardised test-no ecologically valid
test5. Meet diagnostic criteria- DSMIV written for
children6. Have support appropriate to you not the label-
likely to have co-ocurring disorders

Diagnosis/labellingSocial v medical model• Medical model
– you have a problem/different from the norm– Someone diagnoses you– You need to be changed
• Social model– Society has to provide for all shapes and sizes– Society’s responsibility– the position of disabled people and the discrimination against
them is socially created. e.g. a written assignment for an electrician’s course.
– Need for universal design– In university- different assessment processes– Lectures accessible in different formats

Assessment needs to include
• Cognitive functioning + associated comorbidities (e.g.ADHD,expressive/receptive language, motor difficulties)
• Level of independent functioning- ? Using an ICF framework
• Availability of help
• Corroboration from additional sources e.g. parent/teacher/employer/friend

Key challenges
• Terminology
• Training ( Shirley Foundation report)
• Transition planning starting too late, not linked to independent skills
• Tracking
![Page 134: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
TerminologyGPs and health professionals understanding
about Asperger’s Syndrome
Survey of 100 GPs 18 % did not know what Asperger’s Syndrome was- gave no definition
Kirby,2003
UK survey of 1500 people in mainstream population66% had heard of AS but only 35% knew what the symptoms
were compared to Dyslexia (96.3% and 90%) (2007)
![Page 135: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Out of 72% of GPs’ who said they knew what AS was
some descriptions given:
• Sudden jerky movements and use of abusive words• Hyperactive learning difficulties• Attention and co-ordination difficulties• Attention in an older age group• More severe form of ADD• Disorders of mucociliary movements !• Genetic disorder- attention problems• ADHD, Dyslexia and social• Part of Dyspraxia• Spectrum of disease, hyperactive and learning difficulty

Transition planning
• Know the dates and plan ahead• Consider the comorbid issues such as ILS• Provide relevant information on ASD in
adulthood• Make contact with local support groups• Educational accommodations planned in
advance• Life skills coaching started early• Vocational services

Consider what adjustments have already been useful
• Photocopied notes• Additional time for assignments• Use of Microsoft Outlook or Access to lectures
on Blackboard• Text to speech software – Dragon Dictate ( take
time to learn it)• Speech to text- listen to what you have read-
e.g. Claroread• Use of a phone with a diary/timer/to do
list/recorder

student support, type, knowledge of students with Dyspraxia
• Social times – how will they meet others, drinking experience, clubbing..
![Page 143: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)

Barriers to effective inter-agency working
Professional ‘silos’
Separate systems History
Conflicting policies, procedures, priorities and funding streams
Lack of understanding about
roles and responsibilities
Lack of co-ordination
Different organisational
cultures
Communication difficulties
![Page 156: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
Conclusions
• Supporting the child , adolescent and family needs a key worker to plan well ahead for times of transition- who this is may change over time
• Predicting the difficulties rather than waiting for them to occur
• Need to develop appropriate adolescent services- education/OT/social services/psychiatry
• Training and information giving for parents once adults left the formal systems

The issues are ELEPHANTINE!
` Beyond Ghor there was a city. All its inhabitants were blind. A king with his entourage arrived near by; he brought his army and camped in the desert. He had a mighty elephant, which he used in attack and to increase the people's awe.
The populace became anxious to see the elephant, and some sightless from among this blind community ran like fools to find it. As they did not even know the form or shape of the elephant they groped sightlessly, gathering information by touching some part of it. Each thought that he knew something, because he could feel a part.
![Page 158: P A T O S S 2008 Newport](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110306/5551e05ab4c90501638b4b09/html5/thumbnails/158.jpg)
When they returned to their fellow citizens eager groups clustered around them. Each of these was anxious, misguidedly, to learn the truth from those who were themselves astray. They asked about the form, the shape of the elephant; and listened to all that they were told. The man whose hand had reached an ear was asked about the elephant's nature. He said: "It is a large, rough thing, wide and broad, like a rug." And the one who had felt the trunk said: "I have the real facts about it. It is like a straight and hollow pipe, awful and destructive." The one who had felt its feet and legs said: "It is mighty and firm, like a pillar."

Key points
1. Developmental disorders are not discrete but part of a spectrum
2. Segmented training on specific learning difficulties can lead to confusion and delays in referral as parents traverse a system
3. Need for a common language and pathway4. Whole school training especially in secondary schools
about approaches not diagnoses..5. Need to train those working with children with “ behaviour” issues to check out what else MAY be going
on.6. At risk kids should be automatically screened for SPLDs’
