A healthy child is the joy of the family. Social and academic development of a child depend on his ability to use his eyes and ears effectively. When one of these organs is impaired, the child will face challenges to communicate or see effectively, which will affect the child's social and academic developments. When a child has developed a vision or ear impairment, early intervention is a critical approach to addressing this disability. Typically, young children with one or multiple disabilities have unique challenges and needs. Some of these children struggle to see or communicate their needs. Parents and professionals must identify the needs of each child to ensure that young children with disabilities are able to participate actively and make a meaningful progress in life. Thus, medical, and non-medical interventions are the crucial approach for young children with disabilities since they may exhibit a delay in motor development that can result in sitting, mobility and standing difficulties. When professionals develop a needs-based approach, it will be possible to assist these children in identifying their needs and integrate them into the natural environment. Moreover, professionals are required to have the greatest confidence in themselves to make positive impacts on the child. However, delivering high-quality intervention services for infants with multiple disabilities can present challenges. Their complexities may not be addressed effectively using a single approach, thus, multiple approaches may be essential and a number of service providers will need to be involved.
Critical Reading Reflection for Module 7
Salcedo & Chen (2008) believes that early learning is obtained through observation, visual experience and imitation. However, a baby with a visual impairment may experience a fragmented world making the image of mother blurred and incomplete to the child. It should be noted the ability of children to establish effective social relations and excel in their academic performances depend on the children ability to see images and differentiate the images. While the baby with a visual impairment may hear other people talking, however, the talking may be incomplete unless the adults assist the baby with the systematic instructions. When this instruction is lacking, a child may have a developmental delay. Thus, it is very critical for parents to detect their children visual impairment very early before the issue becomes complicated. Moreover, the parents need to observe their children during their early year to detect any eventuality in the child's impaired development. One way to identify whether a child has a visual impairment is to observe the child when crawling or walking. If the child has the challenges in avoiding obstacles and has a habit of bumping into the obstacles, this is a sign of a visual impairment. Some of the causes of the visual impairments include infections, heredity, or prematurity. This study believes that medical intervention is the first strategy to correct a child's visual impairment using the ocular health, and vision assessment. I believe that the parents need to make a great effort to intervene as early as possible to correct their children visual malformation. However, the intervention should not be done alone; it should be done in collaboration with the healthcare providers. It is very critical to understand that children with visual impairment can face difficulties in establishing effective social relations in schools which can affect their entirely life process.

Factors influencing child's Vision Loss
The primary cause of child's vision loss includes prenatal, genetic, maternal infection, and preeclampsia. Other causes of eye vision loss include prematurity, difficult delivery, and asphyxia. Moreover, eye loss can be caused by trauma, intracranial pressure, and tumors. Typically, a child vision's loss can be influenced by the problem associated with visual acuity, which is the inability to see clearly. Moreover, a reduced in contrast sensitivity can lead to an inability to differentiate between dark and light shade. Sometimes, a child faces difficulty in processing his or her visual activities that result in understanding the object seeing. While some children may have one vision loss, some children may develop multiple vision loss. An intervention is an effective strategy to correct the problem child vision loss. Typically, an early identification is essential for the treatment and correction of eye disease. To make an early intervention more effective, the family members are to intervene as quickly as possible. Moreover, the child is to be referred to the pediatric ophthalmologists to diagnose his eye's problem and collecting...
EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION Education Administration: (My) Paradigm Reflection PaperA paradigm makes the foundation of how we perceive the world and define it. Our behaviors toward the information gained from the world around us are created by the observations and experiences while living in it. However, some limitations and misrepresentations are imposed by the socially accustomed nature. This paper aims to reflect on the identified paradigm, certain conceptual frameworks, theories, and models
Education In the wake of the recent globalization, education has emerged as one of the most necessary tools for the field. For globalization to be realized on a large scale, the public has to be well conversant in matters concerning education. However, this has come to pass just a mirage, owing to the poor standards of education amongst some sectors of the public. Immigrants have suffered the most, and it is
Education The definition of an educated person has no doubt altered over time. Certainly, many people have tried to formulate the ultimate definition of what an educated person is, and what achieving that state might entail. In my earliest thoughts about the subject, I probably thought an educated person was probably my grandmother; she seemed so wise, and certainly, I never asked her anything for which she didn't have an answer,
In particular, they specify the need for students to be good listeners, team players, and to make compromises to work toward mutual goals (Scheuerell, 2010). Group work must be a time for students to engage in productive and accountable collaboration around a task or problem that causes them to rely on one another's part or participation to ensure successful completion. Successful group work can be designed and presented to the
A group that is, by its very nature, mentally defective, will also easily be viewed as incapable of supporting itself without help - a strain on the larger society. In terms of modern day American society, this could be seen as declaring that African-Americans, and other similarly impoverished and marginalized groups, are likely to remain forever within the care of the social welfare system. Believers in such ideas might
According to a British Study conducted on all students born in the first week of March 1958, and following them through adolescence and on until the age of twenty-three: There were no average differences between grouped and ungrouped schools because within the grouped schools, high-group students performed better than similar students in ungrouped schools, but low-group students did worse. Students in remedial classes performed especially poorly compared to ungrouped students
