There are some rare disorders, like AGU, INCL, Salla disease and Cohen syndrome, which are a part of Finnish disease heritage, but most common syndromes are Down ( trisomy 21) and Fragile X. Von Wendt and Rantakallio Upsala journal of medical sciences Supplement 1987 ) studied the occurrence and aetiology of mild mental retardation (IQ 50-70) and borderline retardation (IQ 71-85) on the basis of a one-year (1966) birth cohort of 12,058 live-born infants, which were followed prospectively up to the age of 14 years. The cumulative incidences for mild mental retardation were 5.5/1,000 and borderline retardation 13.4 per 1,000. In the borderline group there was a male preponderance of 2.3/1 as compared to 1.2/1 in mild mental retardation group. Matilainen et al.

Definitions of Mental Retardation: A Chronological List with Dates and References An idiot is one who hath no understanding from his nativity. Prerogative of the King of England, 1255 to 1290 A. D . (Payne and Patton, 1981) The word idiot is derived from the Latin word idiota, meaning an ignorant person and from the Greek word idiotos , meaning unfit for public life. It was used to refer to individuals with mental retardation (of all levels) well into the 20th Century. An idiot is such a person who cannot account or number, nor can tell who was his father or mother, nor how old he is, so as it may appear he has not understanding or reason of what shall be his profit or his loss. Sir Anthony Fitzherbert, about 1510 to 1520 (Payne and Patton, 1981) Sir Anthony Fitzherbert was an English judge who was appointed the king's "serjeant-at-law "on 18 November, 1510. His work, La Graunde Abridgement , was the first systematic attempt to provide a summary of English law. Idiocy is a specific infirmity of the cranio-spinal axis, produced by deficiency of nutrition in utero and neo-nati. It incapacitates mostly the functions which give rise to the reflex, instinctive, and conscious phenomena of life; consequently, the idiot moves, feels, understands, wills, but imperfectly; does nothing, thinks of nothing, cares for nothing (extreme cases), he is legally irresponsible; isolated, without associations; a soul shut up in imperfect organs, an innocent. Edouard Seguin, France/United States, 1866

Your browser does not support script HOME JOB OPPORTUNITIES CONSUMER AFFAIRS CRISIS SERVICES ... Missouri Medicaid Eligibility Changes The Division of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (MRDD), established in 1974, serves a population that has developmental disabilities such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, head injuries, autism, epilepsy, and certain learning disabilities. Such conditions must have occurred before age 22, with the expectation that they will continue. To be eligible for services from the Division, persons with these disabilities must be substantially limited in their ability to function independently. The Division improves the lives of persons with developmental disabilities through programs and services to enable those persons to live independently and productively. In 1988, the Division began participation in the Medicaid home and community-based waiver program, designed to help expand needed services throughout the state. The Division operates 17 facilities that provide or purchase specialized services. Eleven regional centers form the framework for the system, backed by six habilitation centers, which provide residential care and habilitation services for more severely disabled persons.
