ICD-11 Classification of Stereotyped Movement Disorder (6A06)
In ICD-11-MMS, Stereotyped Movement Disorder is coded 6A06 within Neurodevelopmental disorders — persistent, repetitive, purposeless motor behaviour beginning in the developmental period, specified with or without self-injury and whether associated with another condition. Diagnosis is established only by a qualified clinician.
Read the answer AnswerICD-11 Classification of Tourette Syndrome
In ICD-11-MMS, Tourette Syndrome is coded 8A05.00 within the parent category 8A05 Tic disorders. ICD-11 places tic disorders in Diseases of the nervous system (Chapter 08) with secondary parenting under neurodevelopmental disorders, requiring multiple motor tics plus at least one phonic tic, persistent over a year with childhood onset.
Read the answer AnswerICD-11 Classification for Visual Impairment (9D90)
In ICD-11-MMS, Visual Impairment is classified at 9D90 within the visual system chapter. It is a functioning-based category grading reduced acuity and visual field loss — mild, moderate, severe and blindness — applied to the better eye with best correction, and paired separately with the underlying aetiological diagnosis.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the Motor area of child development?
The motor area of child development describes how a child learns to move, balance and use their body. It is usually split into gross motor (big movements like crawling, walking and jumping) and fine motor (precise hand and finger movements like pinching and drawing). In the WHO ICF framework it maps to neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions (b7). It is a foundation that supports play, learning and independence, and children progress along their own timelines.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)?
The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is a structured way of teaching children with little or no speech to communicate by handing over a picture card to request something they want. Taught in gentle stages, it begins with the powerful discovery that communication works, then grows towards building sentences and commenting. Designed especially for non-speaking and autistic children, it is one of several AAC approaches and is built to support, not replace, the emergence of spoken language.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the Sensory area of child development?
The sensory area of child development is how a child takes in and responds to information from their senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, plus balance and body-awareness. In the WHO ICF framework it sits under sensory functions (b2). It is a foundation for settling, attending, playing and learning. Children vary in how they seek or avoid sensory input, and gentle, playful support — and a review when daily life is affected — helps a child feel comfortable and capable.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for ADHD?
In SNOMED CT, ADHD is the concept 'Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (disorder)', SCTID 406506008, the terminology counterpart to WHO ICD-11 6A05 and ICD-10 F90, with subtype descendants for inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive and combined presentations. Always verify against the active national edition.
Read the answer AnswerSNOMED CT concept for Attachment Difficulties
There is no single canonical SNOMED CT concept for the lay phrase "Attachment Difficulties". Map instead to the specific ICD-11 entities — 6B44 Disinhibited social engagement disorder or 6B43 Reactive attachment disorder — and their SNOMED equivalents (disinhibited / reactive attachment disorder of childhood). Always verify concept IDs against the live SNOMED CT release.
Read the answer AnswerSNOMED CT Concept for Auditory Processing Difficulties
"Auditory processing difficulties" maps in SNOMED CT to the disorder concept Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Always confirm the current SCTID and preferred term against a live SNOMED CT International Edition release, and map alongside the relevant WHO ICD-11 entity for classification — SNOMED for clinical recording, ICD for morbidity coding.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Autism Spectrum?
In SNOMED CT, autism spectrum is represented by concept 408856003 | Autism spectrum disorder (disorder), historically under 35919005 | Pervasive developmental disorder. It maps to WHO ICD-11 6A02, which unifies the former DSM-IV/ICD-10 subtypes into a single spectrum construct.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Cerebral Palsy?
In SNOMED CT, cerebral palsy is the concept 'Cerebral palsy (disorder)', SCTID 128188000, with child concepts for spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic and mixed subtypes. It complements WHO ICD-11 8D20 used for classification; confirm the active SCTID against your current national SNOMED CT edition.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Childhood Anxiety?
SNOMED CT has no concept literally named 'Childhood Anxiety'; clinicians code the underlying disorder — commonly Anxiety disorder (SCTID 197480006) or the child-specific Separation anxiety disorder (18926006) — and capture paediatric context via age and onset. ICD-11 6B0Z is the unspecified anxiety/fear-related disorder classification counterpart. Always verify SCTIDs against the current edition.
Read the answer AnswerSNOMED CT Concept for Childhood Apraxia of Speech
In SNOMED CT, Childhood Apraxia of Speech maps to 'Developmental dyspraxia of speech' (SCTID 229685008); in ICD-11 the closest diagnostic category is 6A01.0, Developmental speech sound disorder. Use SNOMED for the EHR problem list and ICD-11 for diagnostic coding, confirming the SCTID against your local release.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Childhood Epilepsy?
Childhood epilepsy maps in SNOMED CT to the disorder concept 'Epilepsy in childhood', a child of 'Epilepsy (disorder)' in the Clinical finding hierarchy; confirm the active SCTID in your live edition. The referenced 8A6Z is an ICD-11 residual code, not a SNOMED CT identifier — the two systems map but serve different purposes.
Read the answer AnswerSNOMED CT Concept for Childhood Sleep Difficulties
SNOMED CT has no single "childhood sleep difficulties" concept; clinicians code from the Sleep disorder hierarchy, parent concept Sleep disorder (disorder) SCTID 39898005, choosing the most specific paediatric subtype such as behavioural insomnia of childhood or a parasomnia. Verify the live SCTID in your terminology server and cross-map to ICD-11.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Conduct-Dissocial Disorder?
ICD-11 codes this condition as Conduct-dissocial disorder (6C91). SNOMED CT has no verbatim concept of that name; the nearest active concept is Conduct disorder (disorder), with socialised and unsocialised descendants. Confirm the current concept ID and ICD-11 map in your live terminology server, as identifiers are versioned.
Read the answer AnswerSNOMED CT Concept for Developmental Coordination Disorder
In SNOMED CT, Developmental Coordination Disorder is the concept 'Developmental coordination disorder (disorder)', SCTID 26483008, in the disorder hierarchy. It corresponds to ICD-11 6A04 Developmental motor coordination disorder. Always verify the active identifier against your current SNOMED CT release before use.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Developmental Language Disorder?
In SNOMED CT, Developmental Language Disorder maps to the concept 'Developmental language disorder (disorder)' (SCTID 702988008), corresponding to ICD-11 6A01.2. SNOMED CT supports EHR documentation and interoperability; ICD-11 supports statistical classification. Always verify the SCTID against the current release.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Developmental Regression?
In SNOMED CT, developmental regression is represented by the concept Developmental regression (finding), SCTID 62213004 — a clinical finding for the loss of previously acquired milestones, distinct from primary delay. It is a record-level terminology concept that maps to ICD-11 for morbidity classification, and clinically functions as a red flag warranting prompt evaluation.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Developmental Trauma?
There is no discrete SNOMED CT concept titled "Developmental Trauma" — the construct (Developmental Trauma Disorder) was not adopted by DSM-5 or ICD-11. Clinicians code the recognised diagnosis, usually Post-traumatic stress disorder (disorder), mapping the complex relational picture to ICD-11 Complex PTSD, plus contextual findings. Confirm concept IDs in a live SNOMED CT browser.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Down Syndrome?
In SNOMED CT, Down syndrome maps to 41040004 | Down syndrome (disorder) |, with 70156005 for complete trisomy 21 and distinct concepts for translocation and mosaic forms. It corresponds to ICD-11 LD40.0 (Trisomy 21). SNOMED CT drives EHR problem lists and interoperability; ICD-11 serves classification — reconcile both.
Read the answer AnswerSNOMED CT Concept for Dyscalculia (Mathematics Impairment)
Dyscalculia is recorded in SNOMED CT as a distinct clinical finding concept for documentation, and classified in WHO ICD-11 under 6A03.2 (Developmental learning disorder with impairment in mathematics) for reporting. Because SNOMED CT identifiers are release-dependent, verify the active SCTID in your current national edition rather than hard-coding it.
Read the answer AnswerSNOMED CT Concept for Dysgraphia (Written Expression Impairment)
In SNOMED CT, dysgraphia is coded as the concept "Developmental dysgraphia" within the disorder-of-written-expression hierarchy — distinct from ICD-11's 6A03.1. Confirm the exact concept identifier against your current national SNOMED CT release, as terms are versioned and linked to ICD-11 via official maps.
Read the answer AnswerWhat is the SNOMED CT concept for Dyslexia (Reading Impairment)?
In SNOMED CT, dyslexia maps to concept 84229001 (Dyslexia, disorder), with developmental dyslexia under 192352006; this corresponds to ICD-11 6A03.0, Developmental learning disorder with impairment in reading. SNOMED CT supports granular clinical documentation and ICD-11 supports classification — the two are routinely cross-walked.
