Early Childhood Development Issues
Module One of Chen's work Early Intervention in Action... presents a number of different aspects of the experience of families raising children who have multiple disabilities. It is quite different to consider these aspects from a clinical or even educational perspective rooted in theory, versus doing so from the perspective of the impact of this situation on one's family. There seems to be a greater amount of difficulty in raising children with multiple disabilities that can challenge a family in numerous ways. Based on the information in this module, it seems almost certain that one of the most exacting is simply modifying one's schedule and accounting for the different people and places that such a child must interact with and go to, respectively, in order to achieve success in life.
Perhaps the most vital facet of this module is the way that it is able to contextualize the role of the interventionist in the life of a child with multiple disabilities. It is crucial to remember that the family is always the primary point of interaction between the child and the rest of the world, and that the interventionist's job is to actually support both the child and the family in this regard.
Applying the realities of this situation to clinical practice results in interventionists' remaining more cognizance of the ramifications of his or...
Personally, I will remember that the various family members may each react to the news and ramifications of their child's disabilities in different ways (Chen, 2008). Therefore, it is important to prioritize the feelings of family members when dealing with them in relation to the child, nearly as much as it is to prioritize working with that child and helping him or her.
The second module of the aforementioned book provides a plethora of intervention about how to approach a home visit for interventionists seeking to work with children (and their families) of disabilities. It was extremely interesting to read about how throughout the years the shift of focus of the work of the interventionist has fluctuated. Starting since the 1970's, that focus has vacillated between the child to the caregivers (meaning family members), and also involved hybrid approaches in which the interventionist focused his or her instruction on both parties (Chen, 2008).
It is fairly clear how this module relates to the preceding one. Whereas the latter was about the various concerns of the interventionist and family members in working with children with disabilities, this one honed in on that work and the goal of in-home intervention. It is critical to equip families with the training and knowledge for how to work with children who may…

Early Childhood Development Issues Children with special needs comprise about 20% of all children in the United States. Common special needs include learning disability, communication challenges, emotional and behavioral disorders, physical disabilities, and developmental disabilities. Within the school system, students with these kinds of disabilities are likely to benefit from additional educational services, different approaches to teaching, access to a resource room and use of technology (Resources for Children with Special
Child Development Evaluating Child Development Issues I have chosen the article from the New York Times. Dr. Perri Klass wrote this article and the topic of this article is 'The Makings of Our Earliest Memories'. The author's main subject is memory and for this reason, she is targeting parents and adults in this article by making them aware about the memory system of childhood and the abilities of children to retrieve their
Adolescent Brain The cross-cultural differences in child and adolescent brain development is a cross-disciplinary study that can be contained under the rubric of medical anthropology, adolescent neuropsychology, or the budding field of cultural neuroscience. The field is brimming with possibilities because of the wide differences observable and measured in the perception of adolescence, the experience of adolescence, and the corresponding biological differences in children and teen brains across different cultures.

It would be expected that increased consumption of healthier foods would have a positive overall impact. Anti-obesity drugs have been considered for some time, with some negative issues in the past. For example, the pill rimonabant introduced in 2006 increased already high levels of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts with the obese population. Recently, according to an article in Popular Science (Hagerman, 2009) the hormone option instead seems more "palatable
Child Labor and Society: A Detrimental Situation Child labor is detrimental to the well-being of the subject as well as the society to which he belongs. Throughout history, sundry civilizations have borne witness to the harsh reality termed as "child labor." The agrarian realm enlisted the help of small hands from the beginning of time. Innocent children as young as six or seven persevered in arduous working conditions on farms. However,
