What Was The Importance Of Early Intervention

In the video ‘Early Intervention: The Missing Link’ a presumably deaf woman explains how confident deaf people are, how they are not disabled, and how doctors should be more sensitive with families of deaf children. However, I think this is not only a presumptuous point of view, but also a fine example of how political correctness is slowly taking over society.

Health promotion is very important to early childhood education to improve the well-being of children and parents’ health and behaviours. “It is important for early childhood educators to recognized their essential role as health promotors” (Pimento & Kernested 2015, P. 4). There are 12 social determinants in daily life for childhood programs, however I have identified that social support networks are most important determinants of health. Likewise, educators and families are both mutually directly and indirectly supporting children to improve their healthy development and education (Pimento & Kernested, 2015, P.34). In early childhood, educators have very important role in daycare which is communication. That means, that we need to communicate with family (parent, grandparent), children and coworkers to share the daily basic tasks and any other ideas or information for improving environments and supports. It is especially important that we support mothers who have very limited knowledge about their first-born baby, such as lack of information about breastfeeding, sleeping routine, formula ratios, nutrition, healthy eating habits, or any parental skills. Not only that, we can also help parents to get benefits and support from the government such as financial support, subsidized daycare, and community information resources on healthy nutrition food.

Early intervention is a process which involves stepping into a child’s life as soon as possible to tackle problems. ‘Early’ does not necessarily mean at an early age but in this case it refers more to the stage in the development of a child’s problems. Early intervention is important as the earlier a problem is identified; the more likely it is that the problem can be corrected before serious consequences arise, sometimes resulting in a child’s death (Mahoney 2007, p-3).

This article was based on the history of how early intervention for children of poverty and with developmental disabilities can have remarkable results and improvement in cognitive, academic, and social efforts. In 1954 the idea of early intervention was introduced considering the Brown v. the Board of Education, the desegregated case that guaranteed the right of all children to a decent education. During this time, psychologists and professors discovered that Black children who were entering public schools were at an educational disadvantage compared to the White children in their class. During World War II an assessment for intelligence was given in which resulted of white men were from a poorer, less educated area of the country scored worse

Watching the movie Forrest Gump from the standpoint of learning about intellectual development disability provided a new perspective on a classic film. The character Forrest Gump was a young boy who was being raised by his single mother. He was a likeable boy, despite being picked on by his peers because he was “different”. Even though he appeared to be a bit slow, or simple, he was polite and kind to others. While other children bullied him and were mean, he was befriended by a little girl named Jenny. Jenny became his lifelong

The comparison of Louise and Marie displays the importance of giving every child a chance to live, unless the baby was conceived because of rape or it puts the mother’s health in jeopardy. Despite disabled children requiring more attention, they’re capable of changing your life for the better. Although only 15% of the world’s population is disabled, people with disabilities are mistreated, misunderstood and underestimated. Therefore, people should be more informed about the impact of those with disabilities.

John is a 20-year-old first year student at the university. He has been having unusual experiences which include hearing of voices which have become increasingly common. He has isolated himself from his friends and is no longer involved in activities that he used to do. He rather chooses to stay in his university room, listen to music and smoke cannabis. His upcoming exam is stressing him and has triggered persecutory delusions. John has a history of suicidal thought although he denies current suicidal ideation.

Early intervention falls under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). (2016) Early intervention provides services, within the natural environment, for at-risk children from birth to age two. The natural environment may be defined as one that is comparable to children of the same age without disabilities. The services assist young children with atypical physical, cognitive, communication, adaptive and social or emotional development. Services provided by early interventionists take on a family-based approach by supporting the family, as well as the child.

Analyse why there is a policy emphasis on Early Intervention in children's services. What are the implications of this for different types of services for children, young people and families?

She knows that the earth is a cruel place, but we need to push for those who need a little help in life. Anyone that has been mistreated or looked down on can relate to what she is fighting for. She displays this by show what happens behind the scene of anyone with a handicap in Bring Down The Barriers- Seen and Unseen : “A student with a sensory-processing disorder needs to sit in the front row of class and take notes on a laptop computer, but the professor insists that laptops may be used only in the back of the room” (Adam, Rachel). By showing what needs to be changed, Ms. Adams can reach into those that believe we can make a better future for everyone. This will also not only help the handicapped but other as well. Another essay called Include, Everyone, Ms.Adams paints how a kinder future can form: “I know not all parents are sold on the idea of an education in kindness and tolerance. But there are more pragmatic reasons why inclusion is a good idea. It’s great preparation for the workforce leaders of the future. Employers are increasingly aware that people with disabilities are dedicated, reliable and innovative workers. Recently, it has been reported that the software corporation SAP is actively seeking out employees on the autism spectrum” (Adams, Rachel). If educators include people of all disabilities in school curriculums, American can see more situations like this. It shows that making sure

This agency is facing a number of extensive issues, among them, misconduct and lack of accountability. The problems within this department have extended outside of the agency concerning the mayor, city council, and the community members. This agency needs to show its community that it is dedicated to serving and protecting the public with the utmost honor and respect for the law. As a consultant for this agency, I have outlined a plan of action that will deal with the crucial problems within this department including the misconduct, the lack of accountability, high turnover rate, as well as how to inform the media on the new positive changes this office will undergo.

Litz et al. (2015) and Shubina (2015) stated early psychological intervention effectively reduces the symptoms of chronic PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EDMR) has been reported to be the most effective form of evidenced-based psychological intervention to reduce PTSD symptoms (Roberts et al., 2010). Roberts et al. (2010) also reported an increasing number of attempts are being made “to develop interventions that might mitigate against the effects of trauma and prevent the onset of chronic PTSD” (p. 3). Furthermore, Domar and Prince (2011) stated many studies had repeatedly shown psychosocial interventions reduced the distress in a woman undergoing

I chose to do this reading response on Valle’s article on rethinking disabilities. This piece begins by talking bringing up the notion that when one reveals that they are a special education teacher, instantly they are looked at and thought about differently. Next, the piece goes on to discuss the medical model of disabilities, which is basically the same process as going to the doctor when you are sick, being examined, prescribed a treatment, and finally schedule a follow-up visit. The chapter continues by discussing how disability can be look at as a social construction. The origin of normal, and the increase of normal in schools is discussed next. The IQ test and intelligence tests in general are the main focus of this section, especially

Most troublesome things are exhausting before they can be easy. For people with intellectual disabilities, their whole life is undoubtedly filled with tough situations. In Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, major themes in this book are determined by his mentally impaired protagonist’s difficult life as he goes from struggling in everyday society to being a working, intelligent man. Keyes touches upon the struggle between science and God and if people should meddle in things they do not fully understand.

The idea of children with disabilities, whether they be mild or severe has been a very controversial and misunderstood topic. In the past inclusion has brought about huge changes for not only the students, but also the parents and families of these children, and staff at schools. Teachers and education professionals were the first to really feel the wrath and intimidation of this dramatic shift in education. There were several different factors that were coming about that made it very difficult for schools and teachers, the unorganized mandates were strict and didn’t allow much time for change. “President Gerald Ford signed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) into law in 1975. Since the original passage of the EAHCA, the law has been amended four times and renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)” (Conroy, Yell, Katsiyannis, & Collins, 2010, para.1).
