Habits and The Influence of Behavioral and Social-Cognitive Theories Marianne Shilling PSY/250 November 12, 2012 Anne Snyder Habits and The Influence of Behavioral and Social-Cognitive Theories Each individual develops growth patterns similar and different to other individuals. Sometimes these patterns present as habits. A child has habits that change or disappear by the age of adulthood. The habits that do not disappear may be attributed to a traumatic event or developmental impedance. Because the originations of certain habits that stay on through to adulthood are almost impossible to determine, they are worth investigating to try to understand their effects on the individual.
Early support might minimise the effect of the disability by for example organising specific equipment for the child. Autism is a developmental disability which affects how a person relates and communicates with other people and the world around them. A child/young person with autism finds it difficult to understand facial expressions or the tone of a voice. They can feel lonely and cut off from society as they avoid social interaction. This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom.

Learning disabilities which affect development could be: Autism; autism is a disability which affects how a person relates and communicates with other people and the world around them. Children with autism find it difficult to understand facial expressions or the tone of a voice. They can feel lonely and cut off from society as they avoid social interaction. This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom.
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.
It came back a year later that only 60% of these children that were treated were successful, while the rest failed, but it is stated that this medication is not for everyone and does have severe side effects. Some of the side effects are that of more sleep for the medicated, where as the unmediated can get less sleep. With Ritalin a child can become more depressed, but the pro would be the ability to focus more in school. In my personal opinion, you can medicate a child to death, but you need to understand the cause of the behavioral problem, before you can remove the cause. Just proving a child with medicine but not really knowing for what is not the answer.
Response/Analyses Every day, our brains interpret the things we see, smell, hear, taste, touch, and experience. But when someone's brain has trouble interpreting these things, it can make it hard to talk, listen, understand, play, and learn. A kid's symptoms could be very mild, severe, or somewhere in the middle. For example, some kids might be upset by too many noises or sounds that are too loud. Kids who have milder symptoms don't mind loud noises so much.
It has been widely reported that autistic people have unusual sensory perceptual experience that may involve hypo- and hypersensitivity, fluctuation between different volumes of perception and difficulty interpreting a sense. Some of the perception difficulties for autistic people ; viewing thing literally without interpretation, delayed processing for example, phrases, words or sentences may take time to process. 5 The autistic spectrum describes a range of conditions such as; pervasive developmental disorders includes autism, Asperger syndrome, rett syndrome, childhood
Eliminate loud sounds, such as bells, PA systems and buzzers, from the learning environment. Autistic children can react negatively to loud noises. In fact, some autistic children respond more readily to verbal instructions if they are whispered or even sung
Autistic people may try rock, spin or flap their hands to deal with the stress. Autistic people also find it hard to use their body awareness system, and may find it difficult to navigate objects and other people or be aware of their distance from other people. Most people with autism will have a special interest which can take up most of their time. This can be from an early age but can change over time although in most cases it is lifelong. These interests can range from media such as music or tv and film to vehicles or electronics.
| In this essay I have identified a student with a learning disability which is dyslexia. In this essay I am writing about the important issues surrounding dyslexia and how it affects students from learning if it goes undiagnosed. Dyslexia is a neurological problem of a genetic origin which makes understanding of language skills extremely difficult. A description of the condition is the failure to learn to read, write or spell despite instruction. (Dyslexia, 1998), “believes that in the 1980’s, the definition of dyslexia was an exclusionary one.
