Children with kernicterus have a "dystonic" or "athetoid" form of cerebral palsy. An "athetoid" form of cerebral palsy is classic and refers to the slow, writhing involuntary movements that occur. Dystonia, or abnormal muscle tone and position, is more common, and may occur with or without athetosis. Some children with kernicterus are deaf, some have normal hearing, and some with or without deafness have an auditory processing problem now called auditory neuropathy or auditory dys-synchrony. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests (also known as BAEP, BAER or BSER) are often abnormal, whereas other "hearing" tests, such as otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and cochlear microphonic responses are
They can quickly fall behind from peers of the same age. They may find it difficult to interact and make friends with others who are more advanced.

In moderate to severe traumatic brain injury there could be permanent memory loss, trouble with speech and loss of coordination among other visible and invisible symptoms. Since the individual did not have these issues prior to the injury they will most likely have a negative effect at first. Due to the loss of abilities, they may experience mood changes, anger, depression or anxiousness. These internal psychological challenges may also be compounded by the social anxiety they may feel. Unfortunately, the general society is unforgiving toward those with special needs or differences.
This paper examines Tourette’s syndrome with a focus on the symptoms and causes, the kinds of treatments available for this disorder, and what may be the best treatment method for patients. Tourette’s Syndrome typically onsets during childhood. The most obvious symptoms are the motor and verbal tics, known as coprolalia and copropraxia, respectively referring to the involuntary display of rude words and gestures. “Tics” are defined as repeated and involuntary muscle contractions and sounds. The frequency of the tics is known to fluctuate and include eye blinking, twitching, grunting, and head shaking.

Barrier Two: Emotionally Resisting Messages. Often we react quickly to emotionally charged words or subjects.
The symptoms of glossophobia are arranged in three categories: physical, verbal, and non-verbal. Physical symptoms include increased heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration and oxygen intake, sensitive hearing, tight neck and upper back muscles, enlarged pupils, and a dry mouth. Verbal symptoms include a quivering and tense voice, and acting like a broken record repeating words like “umm” and “ahh”. And non-verbal symptoms include the fight or flight response which stops you from performing as well as you could have. Some ways of preventing glossophobia are going to speech training courses which help reduce the fear but not cure it.

Recent research has raised the prospect that somewhat small everyday lapses of attention can have significant penalties with regard to one’s emotional state, and may even lead to emotional dysfunction. This conclusion is consistent with research conducted by Farrin, Hull, Unwin, Wykes, and David (2003), who examine the level to which cognitive failures are related. Previous work on everyday attention lapses (Cheyne, Carriere, & Smilek, 2006), in which the relation between self-report measures of attention lapses, attention-related cognitive faults, and boredom proneness. One of the results of this research was the result of a strong relation between the tendency to experience attention lapses and boredom proneness, again suggesting attention intervals can play a significant role in
Reading rate for transposed letters at the beginning, middle, and end were closer to the normal than needed to draw a proper conclusion. Comprehension scores for the three were lower than the normal. Our hypothesis was supported in terms of comprehension scores but not for reading rate. Introduction As we read our eyes make small movements along 6 to 8 letters long and tend to skip over filler words which are high in frequency. When words are less frequent we tend to go back to read the word again; we do this automatically.
