Intellectual Disabilities

Notes and numbers: Both Calaveras and Escalon picked up victories to begin the season. Calaveras knocked off El Capitan 44-24 and Escalon defeated Enochs 14-10. In 2016, Calaveras defeated Escalon for the first time under head coach Jason Weatherby with a 45-16 trouncing. Since 2008, the teams have met six times with Escalon winning five of them. The average score of a Calaveras versus Escalon game is 27.3-23.5 in favor of Escalon.

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that numerous individuals around the world suffer from; it is an intellectual disability that is caused by having one too many chromosome 21 copies, trisomy 21. The average person has two copies of chromosome 21 in each cell, whereas, an individual with Down syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome 21. This happens when either the sperm or egg cell undergoes atypical cell division during development. In the United States, there are approximately 400,000 individuals who have been diagnosed with Down syndrome, according to the last census in 2012 (National Down Syndrome Society).

Thousands of babies are born a day in the United States. One out every 691 babies born has Down syndrome, a disorder caused by an extra copy of the chromosome twenty one. In short, this syndrome shortens the person’s life span, and causes assorted severity of mental retardation. Those carrying this extra chromosome have flattened noses, rounder faces, are petite in size, and are much more prone to additional unhealthy disturbances or effects on substantial systems in the body.

Discuss the critieria for diagnosing student with an intellectual disability and why it is so important that criteria is met.

Down’s syndrome (DS), also called Trisomy 21, is a condition in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, both mentally and physically. The physical features and medical problems associated with Down’s syndrome can vary widely from child to child. While some children with Down’s syndrome need a lot of medical attention, others lead healthy lives. Though Down’s syndrome can 't be prevented, it can be detected before a child is born. The health problems that may go along with Down’s syndrome can be treated, and many resources are available to help children and their families who are living with the condition.

How were mentally retarded people treated on the 1900s and how are they treated now?

Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders in the United States with 1 out of close to every 700 births being linked to the disorder. When identifying the cause of Down syndrome, again we have to look at the extra, very important part of chromosome 21 that occurs in all or some associated with Down syndrome. Although there is no real scientific research showing that Down syndrome is caused by environmental factors or even the parents ' activities before or during pregnancy, research has shown that it increases in

The genetic cause of down syndrome is when people have 47 chromosomes in each cell instead of 46, which is what most people are born with. Down syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder associated with an extra chromosome 21. Trisomy 21 is caused by an error in cell division, which leaves a reproductive cell with an extra copy of chromosome 21. The

This week the reading was a review of Chapter five. I still believe it is true that it takes a village. It takes the village of the community as well as the educational village that works with students with intellectual disabilities every day.

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder in which a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. There are three genetic variations that cause Down syndrome: Trisomy 21, Mosaic Trisomy 21 or Translocation Trisomy 21. There are many ways in which theses disorders affect the body.  Trisomy 21 occurs when an egg or sperm comes in with an extra copy of chromosome 21, then, once an embryo is formed and starts to develop, the chromosome is replicated in every single cell of the embryo. Trisomy 21 is the most common type of Down syndrome. About 92% of Down syndrome patients have this type. People with Trisomy usually have physical problems.

Michael and I worked together for a few years, and I have to say it was a pleasure. Michael and I worked together providing supervision and guidance to soldiers with emotional and mental disturbances pre and post war. Mental disturbances include but not limited to: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Major Depression (MD), and Neuropsychological Disturbances.

Down syndrome is an intellectual disability that is a result of a person being born with an extra chromosome, specifically chromosome 21. Down syndrome is the most common intellectual disability affecting approximately 1 in every 1000 births (Asim, Kumar, Muthuswamy, Jain, & Agarwal, 2015). Research has found a direct link between the age of the mother and the possibility that the baby will be born with Down syndrome, with the occurrence of Down syndrome increasing proportionally with the increased age of the mother (Asim, 2015). This condition can cause both intellectual (cognitive) and physical impairments that can range from moderate to severe (Crosta, 2016). People with Down syndrome have physical impairments such as a flat face, little to no neck, small ears, slated eyes, shorter than normal limbs and they tend to have low muscle tone (Asim, 2015). Children with Down syndrome tend to have a slower development of natural movements such as sitting, crawling and walking (Crosta, 2015). Intellectually people with Down syndrome tend to have a below average intelligence and most often they need extra assistance when attending school (Asim, 2015).

Down syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder. It is caused by an abnormality in the number of chromosomes. DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) chromosomes are originate in the cell and are comprised of genes, which decide hereditary traits (Epstein pg.199). If a person has an extra chromosome on chromosome number 21 out of 23 they will have Down syndrome. The extra chromosome may delay the growth of a child’s physical and mental development which may lead to mental retardation. Normally, a person has 46 chromosomes, and will receive 23 pairs of chromosomes from the mother and 23 from the father totaling 46. But someone with Down syndrome will have 47. Although many theories have been developed, it is not known what actually

Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter that represents the letter A is what Hester wear.She lives in a native village, in Old England (11).She had an infant on her arm, and the letter A on her bosom (12).The baby were started to crying of pain, and she was hurting on (13). Although Hawthorne represents Hester as a heroine, he uses symbolism to project her as a victim because she is in prisoned, a single mother and wears the letter A.

Typically, the nucleus of each cell stores forty-six chromosomes. Half of these chromosomes derive from each parent cell. However, in those with Down syndrome, the cells contain forty-seven chromosomes. Researchers’ knowledge of the etiology of Down syndrome has grown since it was first described in 1866 by John Langon Down (National Down Syndrome Society, 2012). According to the National Down Syndrome Association (2012), 95% of the Down syndrome cases are caused by a fault in cell division. Although it is clear that this disorder occurs because of an alteration during cell division, the cause as to why this occurs is unknown. However, the pathogenesis of this disorder is clear. The pathogenesis of this disorder begins with nondisjunction during meiosis, which is failure of the chromosomes to separate. Today, it is known that there
