Her cognitive skills were sharp. All of these things that I observed are expected findings of cognitive skills at four years of age. She was developmentally appropriate for her age in cognitive skills. Lastly, I observed her communication skills. Her speech was understandable about 90% of the time and she used complete sentences.

Whereas sequential bilingualism occurs when a person learns a second language, generally at the age of three, and become fluent with it, after having well developed his first native language. Over the years, bilingualism has been a sensitive subject for psycholinguistics, cognitive scientists and neuroscientists because of the positive and negative effects it has on the human brain linguistically and cognitively, as it has been a confusing subject for the parents. First of all, for the advantages, “The Shape Stroop Test”, a study that involved both monolingual and bilingual children, showed that the latest are more capable to concentrate on a significant task or information while ignoring irrelevant ones, which is one of the many cognitive benefits. The study consisted for instance on showing the kids photos of fruits containing smaller ones and they were supposed to spot the smaller fruits. Choosing the smaller fruit is not easy for young children because of the natural instinct to look at the bigger

Betty Hart and Todd R. Risley conducted the report “ The Early Catastrophe” The 30 million word gap by age 3 discusses the importance of child development beginning at an early phase and how vocabulary and spoken language develops from family interaction, beliefs, and cultures. The goal of this study is to compare and contrast a child’s ability to communicate at home versus communcation in a school context. Families from different socioeconomic backgrounds determines the relevancy of the quality of language spoken against the amount of the words used in the student's household and at school. Studies have reveled the conflict between amounts of spoken words and the messages they express a tremendous reduction in literacy development. This essay will talk about the findings of the studies conducted and show how

Due to the last of the senses to be developed is sight, even for full term babies as vision matures after birth, it is understandable that premature babies may have issues with vision (March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation, 2010c). If a baby is born before 24 weeks gestation, the preterm baby may not have developed all the crucial structures for vision; and the preterm baby may be born with his or her eyelids closed, if born before 26 weeks, but his or her eyelids will open as they mature closely to full term. While all babies are born with the vision issue of nearsightedness, babies become less nearsighted and can focus better on objects further than them as they grow. As preterm babies are still immature, as compared to full term babies,

Another point is Amy says that her mother is not hard to understand, it 's that other people find it hard to comprehend her talking. People who do not know her mother well probably won 't give themselves time to connect with her mother 's English. As described by Amy from her personal view that her mother 's English was "perfectly clear, perfectly natural" (Tan, 2006, p. 21). Specific evidence that supports was the author stating, "Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, full of observation and imagery." (Tan, 2006, p. 20).

When children aren’t successful at reading from early on, they’re at a substantially higher risk of being unable to read at grade level (Campbell et al., 2008). Multisensory Instruction in Education Multisensory instruction started in the 1920’s originating from neuropsychiatrist and pathologist, Dr. Samuel Orton’s search to find instructional methods that would aid in helping students with dyslexia learn. Orton partnered with educator and psychologist, Anna Gillingham to start planning a teaching approach intended to provide assistance to students struggling

The patient’s prognosis was good due to her young age, no significant comorbidities, and level motivation to return to prior level of function without any vestibular symptoms. The patient’s plan of care (POC) in this case report involved supervised visits 2x a week for eight weeks. The POC included a daily home exercise program (HEP) 3 times a day focusing on gaze stabilization exercises initially as described by the newly established clinical practice guidelines of vestibular rehabilitation for peripheral vestibular hypofunction by the American Physical Therapy Association. The initial POC included gaze stabilization exercises, habituation exercises

He is already 3 and a half years old, yet his play skills are like that of a 1 year old. It is through playing that a child acquires most of the speech and language skills. The delays in his play affected his precursory skills, which has a direct correlation in his acquisition of vocabulary, ability to follow commands, and in turn speak words. Limitations in his language affected his speech skills, since when playing he doesn’t really include another person or doll, he had limited opportunities to complete his phonetic inventory or the sounds that he is able to

What we might not understand is that their learning is influenced by these different objects of focus. If a kid decides to look at their mother’s face, for example, they will find that their mother reacts to their cooing and laughing, which can improve social interaction and the bond with their mother. Along with the use of learning through attention, children influence their own development by using language. Even while toddlers between nine and fifteen months may not fully understand speech, they are known to practice “talking”, even when no one is around. This shows that they are internally motivated since no one is around to react to this speech.

All the children were administered the standardized assessments in the research, including the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) and the Assessment for Language Disorders for Preschool-Age Children. Interviews were also conducted between parents and SLPs to obtain information regarding the child’s developmental, medical, and stuttering history. Last but not least, the conversational speech sample was collected from each child. The results of the study were that stuttering events were more likely to occur in trisyllabic tone combinations with a conflicting tone context. Also, stuttering occurred more frequently in Tone 3 and Tone 4 syllables rather than Tone 1 or Tone 2

A child with Down syndrome ranges from when they were born to about 12 years old. They tend to develop at a slower rate in comparison to the typical developing child. Physical needs include sitting alone from up to 6 – 30 months, crawling at 8-22 months and standing from either 1 up to 3 ½ years. Physically their gross motor skills and fine motor skills are delayed in development which is why it is important to see a physiotherapist from the 1st or 2nd month after birth right up until they can ride a tricycle. Their tendency to gain weight is high due to their short stature, and parents can talk to the paediatrician or dietician about the correct meal and exercise plan.

Aggregated data is able to analyzed the overall health of larger populations as where disaggregated data can analyze sub groups. Although both approaches are necessary more studies should be done on disaggregated data to compare subgroups and help reduce health disparities. This can ultimately provide more funding for research

Information was provided by Matthew’s mother, Lara Zylstra. Matthew lives with his parents and infant sister. English is the primary language spoken at home, although Matthew’s father, Dusan Golubovic, occasionally speaks in Serbian. Matthew joined Haledon Public School in mid-May 2015 when he was classified as a preschool child with a disability. He is in a pre-K inclusion setting in the morning for two and a half hours each day, where he has the benefit of both a general education teacher, a special education teacher, and a teacher aide.

Furthermore, the same study showed that these reports of awareness are consistent with that of the 1980s, which is when the study was first conducted, showing that “98% of adults with children in the household have heard of the motion picture industry rating system…” One of the most important parts in creating an effective system is ensuring that people know about it well, and the MPAA has done that according to recent, and older, studies. Almost every parent that completed the survey has heard of the MPAA and can use the system to make informed decisions about what their children should or shouldn’t see. In addition, Joan Graves, the Senior Vice President and Chairman of the Classification and Rating Administration (CARA) at the MPAA and parent stated in an interview that “…the rating is provided by a board of parents…” The MPAA is run by parents, for parents, which in itself creates an effective system for creating ratings for parents. The organization is run by parents in almost every aspect. The films are rated by parents, the leaders of the organization are parents, the appeals system, which is used for filmmakers who disagree with ratings, is composed of parents.

There were no difficulties with Minnie’s birth and postnatal development. Minnie has meet all developmental milestone at the expected ages. Minnie has adequate vision, and well developed hearing. At the age of 4, when Minnie’s younger brother was born, she developed nocturnal enuresis. These episodes were brief in duration and are not of current concern.
