One commonly used assessment tool from the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment is the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). “The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/6-18) is one of the most commonly used parent-report questionnaires for assessing emotional and behavioral functioning in youth,” (Jastrowski et al., 2009, p. 606). This checklist is generally used on children and adolescents from ages six to eighteen, and the parent or guardian is the person who is responsible for completing the checklist. The checklist includes items such as the child is withdrawn, sleep problems, anxious/depressed, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, delinquent, aggressive, etc. With the CBCL, the clinician simply scans the results and examines which symptoms seem to be troubling, according to the parent.
These methods of communication can be useful for building vocabularies of individuals with limited speech. Other individuals may have a vast vocabulary, but due to rigid sets of interests may only use repetitive speech which means their communication can be out of context, making conversations difficult. 2. - Problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have in social interaction and relationships Due to the social difficulties linked with autism, individuals often find social interaction and the building of relationships very difficult. Individuals with autism often have difficulties reading non-verbal forms of communication, such as body language, and find it hard to relate to other people’s feelings and emotions, which can effect their responses to a social situation as they will appear out of context or inappropriate.
(a) Individuals with learning disabilities may have limited cognitive ability, they may need to be assisted at a much slower pace, they may need alternative communication methods and they may find it difficult to make choices. (b) Individuals with different ethnic backgrounds may speak another language or have different language preferences, an interpreter may be needed, the history of that individual may be different and be new to the carer, they may have a different diet, hobbies and clothing, they may also have different religious beliefs.

Recognizing ADHD in Children Laniqua Spicer East Carolina University Professor Bonita Sasnett Written Communication and Documentation in Health Care 3030 Section 2 November 20, 2012 Abstract ADHD is a disorder found in children while in their early primary stage. The children who encounter this disorder often have a hard time excelling in academics and physical development. There has been research done to better understand children who have to deal with ADHD. The results showed there was a differentiation amongst children in different stages of ADHD. Some forms of ADHD in certain children may seem to be more severe than others.
Individual’s self-esteem can be low, and their body language may be closed or negative, this can make communication difficult with an individual whom is distressed because you may not get any feed back from them, or you may not get a change to talk or be listened to to help them. The individual may even talk a different language or revert back to their mother tongue, which can cause a communication barrier. Also if the individual has a learning disability they may not understand how/why they are feeling, or may not know how to express it. 1.4 Explain how working with an individual who is distressed may impact on own well-being. Working with a person whom is distressed can also be distressing for the person caring and comforting

Individual's on the autistic spectrum may struggle with relationship's and social interaction due to difficulties with communication. It would make it difficult for relationship's to work if there is a lack of understanding each other due to the break down in communication. There may be some problems concerning an individual's preference in activities and interests. This is mainly due to a condition that some individual's on the autistic spectrum can find difficulty in which is social creativity, one of the triad of impairments that define ASC. This can cause some restrictions and inflexibility due to the individual in some cases not being able to fully comprehend the transcendence of traditional idea's, rules, pattern's, etc.
However, a child or young person who has a disability may also have low self-esteem which can affect social, emotional and behavioural development. Their physical development may also be delayed. A new baby in the family can have both a positive and negative affect on a child or young person’s development. For example, a child or young person may not understand why they now have to share their parent’s attention. They may feel angry and isolated which can affect their social, emotional and behavioural development.
