Mental retardation

In this case, it is crucial that the support measures will be implemented as soon as possible. In addition to the mental and physical support, the treatment of children with Cri du chat syndrome is to remedy the anomalies and alterations that entails, as well as ensure the physical and mental support necessary (Espirito Santo, 2016). Nearly all children benefit from treatment that promotes the development of language through the early assistance and long-term…

Pennsylvania focused solely on educating children with developmental disabilities. Whereas, the Mills v Board of Education for the District of Colombia expanded on PARC to include all school aged children who were denied an education due to supposed mental, behavioral, physical, or emotional disabilities. Both built their case on the grounds that due process was being violated. The Board of Education of the District of Colombia rebutted with the claim that lacked the funding to provide an…

Fragile X Syndrome is visible in effected individuals, the behavioral problems, intellectual problems, and treatments. Fragile X syndrome is an X-linked genetic condition, as stated earlier. This is caused by a mutation in the gene “Fragile X Mental Retardation 1” or more commonly referred to as “FMR1” (Dean). This is shown by the added repeats of the “CGG” triplet code. This added repeats causes the silencing of the FMR1 gene that leads to the development of Fragile X syndrome and in most…

neurological development of the child that extends far beyond their embryonic development. FAS is an umbrella diagnostic term that covers the full range of effects of this exposure such as delays in social, cognitive, and behavioral skills, mental retardation, central nervous system dysfunction, and severe birth defects. Accurately determining the prevalence of FAS has shown to be a very difficult task. While general rates of the condition have been documented, it is believed that the general…

Hatton, 2010; Hinton et al. 2013; Tonnsen et al. 2013; Tranfaglia, 2011). It is caused by an excess repetition of 200 or more repeats (Tonnsen et al. 2013) of the CGG nucleotide on the fragile x mental retardation gene (FMR1), reducing and often preventing the production of the fragile x mental retardation protein (FMRP) (Brock & Hatton, 2010; Haessler et al. 2013; Tonnsen et al. 2013; Zingerevich et al. 2009). Although the etiology of FXS is well-known, very little is known about the cause of…

My model of understanding for information processing is a board game. I took a few of my favorite boards games that I played numerous times growing up and I combined them into one game that depicts how I see information processing. Explanation of model: My model, a board game, is set up like a Shoots and Ladders board. The board as a whole represents the entire information process. There is a spinner for the board game and the spinner represents the stimulus in information processing. The…

if a child is disabled, there is no space for error because if a disabled child does get over 70 IQ points, that child will not receive the proper care that he/she needs to treat that mental disability. Also, according to Suzanne Fitzgerald, a psychology professor at Cardiff University, “diagnosis of mental retardation is unreliable as different psychologists use different versions of IQ tests and comparisons should not be made across test versions” (Fitzgerald et al. 325). This shows how the…

Quote 1: “Over the past fifty years the term used most often to describe this disability, including IDEA, has been mental retardation. But in 2010, President Obama signed a law changing the term to intellectual disability in federal laws, including IDEA.” Text to Self: During my junior and senior years of high school, our school’s Best Buddies program launched a campaign entitled “Spread the Word to End the Word”. The goal of this campaign was to educate the community to stop saying the R word…
