The developmental theories can not be more evident than during the out of class assignment at the daycare facility. During this independent assignment, I was able to observe and interact with pre-school children in an environment that is both encouraging and facilitating to a child’s developmental growth. So, just as Piaget in his developmental theory believed that children takes an active role in the learning process, acting much like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world; the pre-school teachers allowed them to do just that. Indeed, the teachers at the day care provided room for the child to learn and explore while at the same time adhering to a structure that set boundaries and limitations. Thus, the pre-school children, begrudgingly, learns to follow a meticulous schedule of activities and rest.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that starts effecting children at a young age. ASD is often misdiagnosed as pediatric bipolar disorder because they share similar symptoms. As these children with ASD become teenagers they are faced with having to deal with the normal hormones of puberty but lack the communication skills to verbalize their concerns. There is no known cure for ASD but it is treatable and the children can progress with early intervention being key (National Autism Association, 2014). Interventions such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Developmental Intervention Model (DIM), and Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication of Handicapped Children (TEACCH) are a few interventions that help these children progress in life.
