CHICAGO, Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey from Pathways Awareness of more than 500 pediatric occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech-language pathologists reports that more than two-thirds (68 percent) evaluated or treated children between 3 and 8 years old who had been previously misidentified with learning disabilities or behavioral issues.

This study evaluates the effect of childhood sexual and physical abuse on suicidality in adults with bipolar disorder. We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult outpatients (N = 381) with DSM-IV-TR -defined bipolar disorder seeking evaluation and treatment at an academic specialty research program (i.e., Mood Disorders Pharmacology Unit, University Health Network, University of Toronto) between October 2002 and November 2005. Eighteen percent (n = 68) of adult patients with bipolar disorder had a recorded history of childhood abuse (p = 0.009). Sixty-three percent (n = 43) of bipolar patients with a history of childhood abuse reported lifetime suicidality (χ^sup 2^ = 6.885, df = 1, p = 0.009). Logistic regression analysis indicated that Childhood abuse was a significant p...

While children seemed to follow proper safety directions, such as looking both ways before crossing, they didn't correctly judge traffic dangers, such as the distance of an approaching vehicle or the time it would take them to cross the street, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics.

On their website - www.spdfoundation.net - the Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation defines SPD (also known as Sensory Integration Disorder) thus: "A condition that exists when sensory signals don't get organized into appropriate responses. They go on to liken SPD to "a neurological 'traffic jam' that prevents certain parts of the brain from receiving the information needed to interpret sensory information correctly. A person with SPD finds it difficult to process and act upon information received through the senses, which creates challenges in performing countless everyday tasks. Motor clumsiness, behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, school failure, and other impacts may result if the disorder is not treated effectively."
