Prenatal diagnoses
________ can be obtained with either chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis.
Amniocentesis
________: a prenatal test in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is removed from the sac surrounding the fetus for testing.
Speculation
________: abnormal development in regions of the brain involved with language, cognition, and social communication leads to abnormal connections with other parts of the brain.
Dyslexia
________ is conceptualized within a model that is dependent on many factors (genetic and environmental)
100+
________ genes are linked to an increased risk for autism.
syndrome
Down ________ can be diagnosed by prenatal screening tests.
ASD
________- affected children at 1- 2 years old show abnormal growth of the brain.
GWAS
________ (Genome wide association studies) in dyslexia have identified genetic variants that only account for <1 % of risk.
ADHD
________ impairs normal function to a significant degree in different settings:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
________ (ADHD): Characterized by excessively inattentive, hyperactive, or impulsive behaviors.
Down syndrome
________ is associated with around 50 physical /developmental characteristics.
Dyslexic readers
________ have functional inefficiency in an extensive neural system in the posterior portion of the brain.
Chorionic villus sampling
________ (CVS): obtaining a sample of the chorionic villi in the placenta to get the fetuss DNA.
Therapy
________ is guided by an increased understanding of how the brain normally reacts to learning, bonding, and social challenge as it develops.
DS babies
________ develop as much as typical children but at a slower rate.
sample of amniotic fluid
The ________ is removed through a fine needle inserted into the uterus through the abdomen, under ultrasound guidance.
Prefrontal circuits
________ need an optimal level of catecholamine stimulation.
Dyslexia
________: unexpected difficulty in speaking & reading in children & adults who otherwise possess the intelligence, motivation, and schooling necessary for accurate fluent reading.
syndrome
Down ________: caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
________ is typically diagnosed based on behavior in children around 3 years old.
ADHD
________ has a strong genetic influence.
Dyslexia
________ affects 80 % of learning disabled individuals.
Speculation
abnormal development in regions of the brain involved with language, cognition, and social communication leads to abnormal connections with other parts of the brain

among friends, at school and home
