Children may face behavioural difficulties such as aggression. This could affect their speech because they may express how they feel through the aggression and not by using speech. Their speech may become poor as a result. Their language they use may not be correct and their communication maybe poor or no existent. Emotional difficulties could include going through a family breakup or grievance. The child may become withdrawn and upset. Children going through this may not want to communicate with people in turn becoming mute. This would have a negative effect on their speech. Social difficulties could include poor housing, lack of friendships and living in poverty. This would affect the child’s SLC because they may not get the socialisation

It is also important that a range of staff observes the child as all practitioners will see the child differently. As the child might show positive behaviour towards one member of staff and negative behaviour for another. Also practitioners can use different methods when observing the child such as free description or time sampling. Using different methods will help give practitioners

If you are supporting a child with learning difficulties, it is likely that you would have advice and guidelines from other professionals as to how to manage their needs while encouraging their development.

ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADD, is a common disability with an estimated affected population of 17 million in the United States (Amen XV). The disorder mainly results in a lost of focus due to low brain activity leading not only to learning disabilities, but also to numerous social problems such as relationship breakups, job failures, and drugs or alcohol abuse. Medical experts consider genetics, head injury, toxic exposure, and poor diet to be the primary causes of ADHD. Although a significant number of people are unaware, there are remedies for ADHD; it can be effectively treated with medication, behavior therapy, and proper diet.

The criteria includes having a conduct disorder as well as a defiant disorder, anxiety disorder, depression and tic disorders. The true cause of ADD/ADHD is not known although research shows that its development could be contributed to genetic factors and other factors precipitated by the environment like smoking while pregnant and early delivery of babies (Strine, Lesesne, Okoro, McGuire, Chapman, Balluz, & Mokdad, 2007).

The research theory that the direction of causation between child and adult behavior is a two-way street can cause the parents to change the behaviors of the child and the child can change the behaviors of the parent. Additionally, research has shown parents of children with disabilities are very adapt at adjusting their interactions with their children to maximize positive development. Research has proven the purpose of early intervention is not to train the parents but to develop the parent-child relationship.

Once I squeezed out all the information I could muster from those sections, I moved on to reading the text in extreme focus latching on to every word. For example, in the article “Some Consequences of Having Too Little,” when the text said “currently there are two ways to explain this behavior” (Shah, Mullainathan and Shafir 682), I highlighted that there are in fact two ways with one color so that I could remind myself to find two ways. Then I highlighted the two ways with another color. I read each article in this way leaving no important information out. I wrote margin notes on the text whenever I needed to summarize a paragraph or learned new information from the articles. With my pre summary taken from the collective of introductions,

Childcare is multidimensional; genetics disorders, infectious diseases, mal nutrition, physical and mental development are important aspects of it. However, each of these needs a focused study. In this paper, I am going to deal with one of the genetic disorder, which is widespread in India and demands immediate attention of policy makers because of the high number of incidents. Thalassemia- it is an inherited blood disorder passed on from parents to their child. It is a condition in which the altered genes hamper the natural ability of the body to produce adequate amounts of Hemoglobin. This leads to destruction of red blood cells, ultimately leading to a condition called anemia. The effects of anemia
