Presentation Objective
• Introduction to research-based approach to medical diagnosis in the field of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatry.
Concerns?
Delays, Deviation, Advance, Regression, Disequilibrium :
• Developmental milestones : GM,FM,LA,VR,SO,ADL
• Behaviors• Mental & Emotional state• Learning & Academic achievements• Family issues
Combinations!
Significant Concerns?
Consideration Norm : Age
Ethnicity Individual profile / baseline of
development/temperament Cultural variations Onset, Severity, Duration, Progression ? Functional impairment? Different settings ? Red Flags : Early signs
Significant Concerns?
Functional Impairment:Symptoms & Signs cause clinically significant impairment, negatively impact, interfere with or reducesocial, academic, occupational or other important areas of current functioning.
Medical Approach • History taking• Physical examination• Developmental & Mental status examination• Further Investigations:
LaboratoriesFormal Assessments
Signs & Symptoms(S/S) Work up Dx PlanRx
Pediatric Approach
• A child as a whole person : p/db/m
• A child as a part of Family system
• Source of information: primary & secondary
clientcaregivers3rd party: school,
agency, community
Research & Clinical ApplicationEvidence-based practice
Study designs?
Research & Clinical ApplicationEvidence-based practice
Classification of Research /studyRetrospective , Cross-sectional, Prospective studyExploratory, Descriptive study , Analytical studyObservational , Interventive study
Case report, Case series, Case-controlRCT : randomized, double blind,(cross over), trial
Clinical trialsEpidemiologic studyGenetic studyPsychometric validity study
Concern Condition ??
Conditions?• Neurodevelopmental conditions• Neuropsychiatric conditions• Brain Functions : Complex capacity , Overlapping• Neuro—Neurons—Neurotransmitters—Connectome—
Genome• Genotype & Phenotype• 1 phenotype…many genes • 1 gene many phenotypes• Developmental/Behavioral/Mental/Learning• Norm/variation/deviations/CONDITIONS• Multifactor : Nature & Nurture• SYNDROME • SPECTRUM
BIO-PSYCHOSOCIAL Model
• Biology : Brain function, Genetic, Temperament, Brain trauma, Toxin, Infection, Nutrition etc.
• Psychosocial: Parenting, Experience, Character & Personality, School, Peers, Community, Culture etc.
Bio-Psychosocial Interaction

Categorical & Dimensional Model
• Categorical model: Symptoms Categories, DSM IV
• Dimensional model: Functioning level, Severity, Continuum
• DSM-5— Incorporate Dimensional Model and Categorical model!
Case Vignette : JK
• JK: 5-year Thai boy, 1st language is Thai, English is 2ndlanguage for 3 years since entered an International school :
• School concerned of his aloofness, preferred to talk and play with particular peers and toys and often had conflicts.
• Sometimes he appeared to show no sympathy to peers looking on when peers cried after their fights. He rarely spoke in English but appeared to understand however would often ask the same questions again and again to TA in Thai.
• Parents disagreed with school but were aware of his shyness especially in new situations: he is easily worried about whether he did things wrong and would often drift away during homework. He is a very talkative boy, curious and creative at home.
• He enjoys playing with other kids but has few chances to join them due to his schedule. Mostly after school he would be dropped off at his mother’s office and spend time playing with an ipad.

concerns from school• Parents had different perspective : Slow to
warm up temperament, Creative , curious, but anxious and distractible

What’s next?• Gather more information from different
perspectives : client, parents, school and other professionals in order to get to know a child’s profile : ability, strengths and needs , in order to provide suitable and appropriate interventions
• Evaluation :Clinical & Formal • Assessment: Diagnostic & Follow up– Developmental & Behavioral– Psychoeducational– Neurodevelopmental / Neuropsychological – Speech& Language – Physio/Occupational
Case Vignette: JK 5-yr boy
• Clinical assessment: parent clinical interview, play-based developmental evaluation /MSE
• Diagnostic evaluation:ADI-R, ADOS,Mullen Scales, NEPSY-II (AT/EF, SP:ToM,AR)School vdo, school visitQuestionnaires: SDQ, SNAP-IV,PDDSQ
So, Does Diagnosis Matter?Why?
• Universal Language among professionals• Practice Guidelines/Road map: for
Intervention , Counseling, Prognosis• Strengths & Needs• Future Research : etiology , specific treatment, course, prognosis
