Educational psychologists may use reasoning tests to assess an intellectual age in contrast to a chronological age. Information from colleagues and carers: Parents/carers who know the child and colleagues expertise are very useful, especially when planning for social and academic success for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. If we are concerned about child's development it's good to ask/share information. For example, if a child has not progressed for a while in their assessments or levels, we will call the parents in to talk about our concerns with the child and hopefully try and get them to work with us to help the
The items of the questionnaire are close-ended and open-ended types of questions. The open-ended type questions require that the participants indicate their demographic information also they require participants to indicate any comments they have or any questions they have pertaining Autism, as well questions that require participants to indicate what they think of Autism. The close-ended type questions require the participants to indicate to which extent they agree to the statement of Autism on a 3-point Likert scale (Yes, No and Undecided). The questionnaire that will be used is the Autism awareness campaign questionnaire which was adapted for the participants and this study, the process in which the questionnaire was adapted is that it was sent to various lecturers who are experts in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders and items that tapped into the domain of this study were added and those that did not really tap more in-depth into this study were deleted. 3.3.1.
It will then briefly describe Piaget’s theory by providing an overview of the four stages of cognitive development which include sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational, before presenting two of the most common criticisms of his theory. Finally the essay will conclude with a brief summary of the points discussed. Prior to the development of his theory, Piaget worked for Albert Binet, a psychologist who was working to test the intelligence of both adults and children. During this time Piaget’s role was to conduct tests on children. His interest in children’s cognitive processes developed when he started to notice that children of similar ages made the same kinds of mistakes on test questions.

Autism covers a large array of complex developmental brain disorders such as Pervasive Developmental Disorders Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified, Asperger's Syndrome, Rett Syndrome and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Autism disorder is characterized by extreme withdrawal, self-stimulation, intellectual deficits and language disorder. These symptoms can be noticed as young as 24 months. It is important to identify Autism as early as possible so that an appropriate treatment and educational program can be developed. The early intervention has proven to improve behavioral outcome.
Observation is watching the children. There are many ways in which observations can be conducted, some observations require that the observer does not interact with children, while in others, the observer acts as the participant. In early years settings, observations are a key role in assessing children's development and are linked closely to planning for groups of children. There are some standardised assessment methods which are used by a variety of different professionals. These include auditory assessments, health assessments - these include height, weight, and head measurements and tests carried out by educational psychologists.
This article also explains the ways and methods that were thought to treat autism. How this article can help me in my writing is giving me fact about the past of autism. I can use it to show where autism use to be and how far it has come.

The other pervasive developmental disorders are PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified), Aspergers Syndrome, Rett Syndrome and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder.
