Caula Rogers Eng-105 English Composition 1 03/30/2014 Dr. Victoria Smith Impact of ADHD on a Child’s Schooling Children with ADHD generally have trouble in school, only because school causes many trials for children with ADHD. ADHD is not a learning disorder; however it can cause children to have problems with learning. Furthermore, children with ADHD have an excessive rate of learning disorders and will have problems with other school-work like calculation and following a long with his/her teacher during direct instructional time. But with enduring and an efficient plan, the child will be capable of succeeding in the classroom. ADHD negatively can affect a child’s social and emotional behavior and the ability to control them in a positive manner in a school environment.
This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom. Dyslexia; is a difficulty in learning to read. Children suffering from this may become frustrated and problems could arise at home or in school, behavioural problems could also be seen, as well as the child becoming unenthusiastic or disliking school. If dyslexia is undetected then this will affect their development at school and could spoil any chance of achievement. Physical disabilities could include: Cerebral palsy; cerebral palsy is a condition which affects the movement, posture and co-ordination of a person.
Brain infections, head injury, physical injuries, and near drowning in childhood can damage the brain of a growing child, which have found to be related to mental retardation more or less. In addition, poverty, malnutrition, unhealthy living conditions, inadequate medical care, and cultural deprivation may all increase a child’s risk for this condition, since children who are neglected or abused often do not develop normally. It has to be mentioned that some findings related to the educational background of parent suggest that younger mothers with 12 years
There are a great diversity of childhood disorder forms and causes. Some of these disorders are primarily disorders of the brain, while others are more behavioral in nature. Whatever the cause of child’s disorders or illnesses, one basic rule applies to what to do about helping them: It is best to seek professional treatment at the earliest time possible. Early treatment and intervention for children's symptoms helps reduce the impact of those symptoms on further development. Untreated symptoms can snowball and lead to the development of sometimes severe secondary problems such as social, academic and occupational difficulties, addictions, poor self-esteem, suicide attempts, self-harm (cutting or burning oneself) and the like.
The probability of encountering an abused child is very likely in the education field which makes it imperative for educators to educate themselves and their students on the topic of abuse. “The seven dimensions of children’s well-being are: health, education, identity, family and social relationships, emotional and behavioral development, self presentation and self care skills” (Stevenson, 2005). When either of these dimensions is negatively altered it is considered child abuse or neglect. A child who is noticeably malnourished is a major indicator in child abuse cases. Another major indication to child abuse or neglect is the child’s education.
Learning disabilities in young children in school are commonly misunderstood and can affect the classroom and the other students, the child may require a treatment plan, and will have need of as much parental involvement as possible (NCLD, 2013). Learning how to identify learning disabilities is the first step in helping a child. Because of the extensive variations, there is no one symptom or profile that an individual can look for as evidence of a problem. Although, certain warning signs are more apparent than others at the different ages of children, and if an individual is attentive of what they are, an individual should be able to notice the signs and quickly take the actions to get the child some help. As parents, paying attention to the natural developmental signs of young children to teenagers is a vital part of detecting a learning disability.
These all can change an individual life tremendously The most common lasting effect of prematurity is another form of learning disability. Disabilities may be minor, severe, or in middle, and regularly don’t be obvious up to children begin school. Mathematics is affected the most; language and reading are least affected. Early intervention and programs like Head Start or tutoring can help reduce learning difficulties to encourage school success. Micro preemies are in danger of an eye illness called retinopathy of prematurity; it’s a condition that can cause vision weakening or blindness.
Cognitive behavioral therapy works with clients to understand their thoughts and feelings and how each influences their behavior. In the reading, Christopher Boone is a teenager with Asperger Syndrome, a mild form of autism; described by WebMD as “delays in the development of many basic skills…the ability to socialize with others, to communicate, and to use imagination” (WebMD, 2013). Handling Christopher’s temper tantrum would be a major goal for his mother Judy. Since cognitive therapy focuses on specific problems, this approach could help Christopher’s mother work on changing her behavior and thought process when dealing with Christopher’s condition. Since thoughts play a role in behavior, Christopher’s mother’s feelings of inadequacy could come from depression.
Autism Spectrum Disorder Erick Mojica Florida National University Professor Hortacio Nunez December 08, 2014 Abstract ASD formally known as Autism Spectrum Disorder is a disorder found in many children. It is mainly found more in males than in females. This disorder affects kids at a very young age and impairs both social and communication skills in the brain. In this paper, you will read the signs and symptoms and even the treatments and therapies these children can take. Don’t get me wrong, those these treatments will help the children cope and maybe even understand their disorder it will not cure it or take it away.
For, many people did not understand or had the true knowledge of disabilities and how to help students with disabilities. However, as time change people started to become more knowledgeable about the situation. Many tools became available for students with disabilities to help them improve their learning as well as giving teachers a way to present their lessons to these students. Legislation and litigation influenced the education of students with disabilities by laying the foundation for special education programs. Lawsuits by parents cause laws to be set by the legislation to ensure that students with disabilities are given a
