Children and young people in the care system are more vulnerable,often due to the lack of stability and attachment disorder this can affect their emotional ,social and academic development. 3.3 Explain how disability name affect development. Disability can affect the development of children and young people in a variety of different ways. Physical development may be affected by limited mobility if
this could be a physical or learning disability. Children with learning disabilities may be unable to focus and concentrate for long periods of time. children with physical disabilities may have gross and fine motor and functional skill problems. They may also suffer from an impairment such as deafness or a visual impairment which would impact on their ability to learn and play. Disabilities may affect confidence and challenge social skills.
By the time a child reaches the age of six if he / she has experienced neglect his/her chances of having overall poor physical health increases .Infants can develop poor physical health if neglect starts even before the child I born. A child deprived of basic necessities, such as proper pre-natal care is at risk of being born prematurely or having complications during child birth A developing child requires proper nutrition, protection and good health. About 80% of neglected children display attachment disorder symptoms and eventually form insecurities. Any child suffering neglect usually find relationships with peers disturbed and become
092 Support young people to move towards independence and manage their lives 1.1 Explain the reasons why some young people may find it difficult to move to independence. Some young people may struggle to move to independence due to a multitude of different factors. A young person with attachment difficulties and a history of abusive or troubled relationships may not be equipped with the emotional resilience and external support to face independence without some level of difficulty. It is imperative for young people to feel supported and encouraged and an absence of this may cause a young person to revert to child like behaviours to achieve these basic needs. If a young person has physical of learning disabilities this would also effect their ability to move towards independence as they may require a more intensive amount of support from a care giver for a longer period of time than a young person without any disabilities.
This could result in premature birth and low birth weight which can then lead to a slower development rate. ● Disability A child in a wheelchair or with a serious physical impairment would find it hard to do many activities, particularly those that are physically demanding. Gross motor skills would be at a less developed rate than peers and fine motor skills may be affected if the child had little or no control over their limbs. Another aspect to consider is if the parent of a child has a disability, research evidence over the past ten years has suggested that when children take on a caregiving role in the family their educational, social and emotional experiences and health can often be seriously jeopardized. ● Sensory Impairment A child may
Assessments are test that are given so that the teacher can see what level the child is on and to see what path do they need to take to start educating the child properly. When a child is assessed properly time will not be wasted by simply putting activities in from of them. Children learn in different ways and those with disabilities have to have the correct instruction to help him or her. There are weaknesses of assessments as well. Assessments can be very time consuming and depending on the child they may get restless while taking them.
Dementia is a collection of symptoms including memory loss, personality change, and impaired intellectual functions resulting from disease or trauma to the brain. These changes are not part of normal aging and are severe enough to impact daily living, independence, and relationships. There will likely be noticeable decline in communication, learning, remembering, and problem solving. These changes may occur quickly or very slowly over time. Common signs and symptoms of dementia include: * Memory loss * Impaired judgment
There are many factors that influence a child/young person development. Development may affect before birth or after birth. Antenatal – Is known as the period from conception to birth. During this period mainly the life style of the mother affects the development of the child. If the mother smokes, takes drugs, becomes ill or suffers from stress this can result in premature birth and health problems for the baby such as -: low birth weight, undeveloped organs, problems with sight and hearing which will result in the delay their development.
If a child with a disability has emotional developmental delay they may form friendships with children who are much younger than they are which could affect how their same age peers see them. Their peers may label them inappropriately due to this which may cause feelings of isolation. If a child is unable to participate fully in all lessons due to their disability they may begin to lack confidence which will impact upon their self-esteem. The environment in which a child is raised can impact upon their physical development. If for example a child receives an inadequate diet lacking in essential nutrients may develop physically slower than their peers, being significantly smaller than other.
It may also be because the child has committed an offence. Some possible causes in behaviour which might lead to problems for children, young people and their families may include stress, anxiety and depression. Many children suffer from stress, leading to poor school performance and emotional and behavioural problems. Stress may be the result of an unstable home life or feeling of being unloved. Their parents may not have the skills for bringing up children, or the child feels the demands for achievement and success are unrealistic.
