children’s social and cognitive development is scaffolding. Scaffolding generally refers to the process through which adults facilitate children’s learning by enabling them achieve a level of ability beyond the child’s capacity at the time (Scarlett, 2005).

Autism is a common disability that when diagnosed in the pre- school stage, affects the development of the child when going through the pre school developmental stage. This will be demonstrated through an examination of not only what autism is, but also the various areas of development that it affects. These areas include, cognitive, social, emotional, speech, gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Many developmental theories can also be applied to autistic children in the pre school developmental
Sensitive periods are a period in a child’s life where they are obsessed with certain aspects of learning without any particular reason. This period is an optimum time for development and children can really develop specific abilities and skills. When children are in their sensitive periods and working with any activity, they will not show any signs of fatigue and will repeat the activity a number of times. These periods last for a certain amount of time; however the child may eventually lose interest and
teaching and publishing literary works, and finally turning his attention to fundamental questions of human development and learning, where he made his biggest impact in the psychological field. Vygotsky proposed a general genetic law of cultural development in which cognitive function occurs on two planes: first on the social (between individuals), followed by the individual (internalized by the child) (Bjorklund, 2005). For a number of years, his theory mainly gained attention in Russia and Eastern Europe
Early childhood is the most rapid period of development in a human life. Although individual children develop at their own pace, all children progress through an identifiable sequence of physical, cognitive, and emotional growth and change.

(Montessori 1966 and 2007a) and Social Embryonic (Montessori, 1966 and 2007a). The Spiritual Embryonic is the phase of intellectual development or a period of mental construction of the child that starts developing right after birth and continues developing to three. The Social Embryonic stages slowly replaces subconscious learning with the will to learn. The Child will demonstrate greater awareness of others needs and becomes sensitive to the social aspects of their culture. Montessori talks
