Luthar also established that subtle hormonal and physical changes along with the biased perceptions of others mutually reinforce one another and are strengthened in a way that supports aggressive behavior in late childhood and adolescence. However, most children in stressful environments are able to effectively cope and become competent adolescents and adults. (Luthar 2004). Goldenberg & Goldenberg (2008) stated, while many therapists continue to be interested in the “psychodynamics of family life” and use concepts that are
module 5Child Growth & Development: Ages and Stages Module 1 Assessment Handout Diversity in the Classroom Children start developing their attitudes about others and themselves by the age of two. Providers and teachers can have a powerful positive influence on those attitudes. In your activities and classroom you should provide multicultural, non-stereotyping materials and activities that will: * Support each child’s sense of self and family * Teach children to accept and appreciate differences and similarities between people, and * Help children understand beliefs and customs different from their own. Not all materials produced for children are appropriate. Be especially careful with materials that are more than ten years old.
2. Cite examples of how language awareness fosters school-age children’s language progress Verbal communication and language awareness is important and it plays a major role in developing their brains, connections and is crucial to development in young children.

Grissell Reyna Communication Disorders: Alternative and Augmentative Communication This report discusses the observation of a speech language pathologist conducting treatment on several autistic children. The observation site was the Easter Seals facility called the Therapeutic School and Center for Autism Research, which opened in 2008 to help meet the needs created by the explosive growth in autism. The campus provides educational and therapeutic services to over 270 children and adolescents between the ages of 3 and 22 and is an alternative school placement choice with the aim of helping individuals grow towards independence. The facility retains top health care professionals who supervise, research and execute the best treatments to service autistic spectrum disorders in the Chicagoland area (Easter Seals, N.D.). Observation Notes This assignment addresses the etiology of each child and the varying Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) strategies used to enhance the child’s communicative ability.
By Charles Tran Part I: Response to Literature 1. Children are impressionable and they form attitudes about people at an early age. Favazza & Odom (1996) examined the reliability of the Acceptance Scale for Kindergartners (ASK) and found it to be reliable in assessing kindergarteners’ attitudes toward children with disabilities. Favazza & Odom (1997) found that children are more likely to develop positive attitudes toward children with disabilities if they have direct and indirect experiences with them early in life. In their examination of the effects of an intervention package, they also determined that the attitudes of young children can be altered through social contact and use of children’s books.
More and more children are being diagnosed with AS during the school years. This may be due to the growing awareness and improved diagnosis procedures. Four boys are diagnosed for every girl. This may be attributed to girls having the ability to mask their differences in a social

Children learn language in such a short space of time and this is why the pre-school years are so crucial - with parents and early years workers playing a vital role in encouraging children's communication development. Problems with speech and language are the most common developmental difficulty that children encounter. Studies indicate that as many as 1 in 10 children in the UK have speech and language difficulties, and these are particularly prevalent in the early years. Types of speech, language and communication problems that children experience: * Understanding spoken language: Children may have difficulty with understanding the meaning of words and concepts. They may have problems following instructions, understanding games and tasks, and making sense of what is being said to them.
