VIEIRA, Erlaine Chaves Machado  and  GIFFONI, Silvyo David Araújo. Assessment of risk predictors for intellectual disabilities. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.104, pp.189-195. ISSN 0103-8486.

To evaluate predictors risk pre, peri and post-natal care for Intellectual Disability (ID). This study was a retrospective documentary research from 2014 to 2015 of predictors risk pre, peri and post-natal through 70 records of diagnosed patients with ID from 8-19 years into two special education schools at São Paulo State - Brazil. The results were significant for the pre-predictors risk (familial and genetic background, advanced maternal age and use of drugs and alcohol) and postnatal predictors risk (traumatic brain injury, low birth weight and neonatal seizures). Already perinatal predictors risk was inversely proportional to the significant diagnostic ID. Predictors risk pre- and postnatal have major impact on the diagnosis of ID.
