Family background can effect a child's development by the family's values the culture and the way the child is encouraged and cared for all can effect the child development.
* Not using their hands to make gestures as they speak. * Not being able to understand difficult orders. * repetitive behaviour (ie people with autism might repeat certain words or actions over and over, usually in a rigid rule-governed manner). 1.2 Identify problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have in social interaction and relationships. Communication difficulties may contribute to autistic adults they become socially anxious or depressed or prone to self-injurious behaviours.
Leah Hardy Kidder English 9 Honors 20 March 2013 A question commonly asked by frustrated parents to their teenagers: why don’t you just grow up and start acting like an adult? Although it is a rhetorical question, there is an answer. Research has shown that the human brain does not reach full development until people are in their 20s. Teenage brains are strikingly unlike adults’, explaining their often rash, immature behavior exemplified in Mary E. Pearson’s novel The Adoration of Jenna Fox and William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. In The Adoration of Jenna Fox, 17 year old Jenna Fox struggles to recover from an 18 month-long coma that left her with complete amnesia.
Stages of learning disability can range from mild, moderate, severe and profound. 2.2 I will give various examples and causes of learning disabilities i.e. unknown factors; environmental; before, during and after birth; chromosomal and genetic factors. Others include being intellectually impaired i.e. dysgraphia; visual processing disorder; dyscalculia; early onset; dyslexia; social or adaptive dysfunction.
Individuals are considered to have an increased risk to be a fragile X carrier if they have: • Family history of fragile X syndrome • Family history of mental retardation, developmental delay or autism of unknown cause • Infertility problems associated with elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, premature ovarian failure (POF) or unexplained early menopause. Fragile X syndrome causes a range of symptoms. Fragile X syndrome causes a range of symptoms. Fragile X syndrome is caused by a change in the Fragile X Mental Retardation (FMR1) gene. This gene is located near the bottom of the chromosome and gives it a “fragile appearance”.
Running Head: RESEARCH REPORTING ANALYSIS: CHILDREN’S DEPRESSION INVENTORY Research Reporting Analysis: Children’s Depression Inventory Holly Squires University of Phoenix Research Reporting Analysis: Children’s Depression Inventory Depression had been regarded as an adult disorder until the 1970s. At that time, however, experts learned that this disorder also occurs in children. Depending on the child’s age, the symptoms of depression are expressed differently. Because of the ambiguous symptoms of depression in children, and other contributing factors in the difficulties in diagnosing the illness, the Child’s Depression Inventory (CDI) was developed. This paper will summarize a research article
Running head: The Medicated Child The Medicated Child Abstract In this report, I am going to place my views on a PBS television documentary called Frontlines, The Medicated Child. The documentary show the large increase in children who have the diagnosis of ADHD that are believed by many doctors to be misdiagnosed and indeed thought to have bipolar disorder. I will express my viewpoint on prescribing anti-psychotic medications and my disbelief on the parents of these children. The Medicated Child The video on the Medicated Child made me mad and quite sad that there are parents in this world that are so willing to give their children anti-psychotic medications with little or no knowledge on what they are putting in their bodies. It was stated several times that these anti-psychotic medications are used to treat adults with bipolar disorder and their side effects have never been studied in children, so these parent are using their children as what I would call a “lab rat” some sort of science experiment, unbelievable!
The ‘medical’ model looks at the child for a diagnosis such as ADHD or depression. It sees the problem as being inherent to the child. Medication or behavioural therapy may be prescribed to modify the child’s behaviour [Woodhead, M et al 2005]. Alternatively there is the ‘social environment’ perspective. In this model the causes of the child’s disturbed behaviour are sought in their daily surroundings- poor or abusive parenting, neglect or lack of discipline in school.
Norma Jeane Mortensen experienced a difficult childhood. She never knew her father, and her mother, Gladys, developed mental illness and was eventually placed in a mental institution. (Being Marilyn, 2010) Since Monroe’s mother is not capable of taking care of her, she was passed on to a series of orphanage houses and foster families. Some of these families are a friend or a relative of her mother. It is said that she had lived in a total of 11 foster homes throughout her youth, and when there was no family who would foster her, she would sometimes end up at the Hollygrove Orphanage in Los Angeles.
The Dilemma The Dilemma Discussing the dilemma of the married couple who had their child taken by a court order and placed in a foster home due to their addictions to drugs, I will use the Deontological theories (rules based) and Consequentialist theories (ends based) of the Three Primary Schools of Ethics. The Care-Based theory would also be important in this dilemma, but standards should be set by the law to bring the family back together. The married couple’s infant daughter was taken because of the both had a drug addiction. The court ordered the request and she was placed in a foster home. The court removed the child because the living environment was dangerous.
