During slavery the Portuguese attempted to get rid of Islam in their country. The Portuguese used deportation and forceful baptism to get the job done. When entering Africa the Portuguese killed Islamic Natives from the area. After doing this they put up crosses in different locations and in mosques. Then they began to capture those left behind that were unable to fight. They wanted to take the unexpected humans and planned to hold them in captivity. After capturing these humans the Portuguese wanted to bring them to Europe to sell them. Out of some 20 million Africans that were enslaved 20-30% of them were Muslim. One of those enslaved Muslims was Yarrow Mamout.…
Internal struggles are common enough that everyone has experienced it at some point or another throughout their lives. Whether a person deals with an internal struggle alone or if they find an outlet is based on the individual.

Moreover, building a solitary confinement with which to keep themselves in. Solitude has negative effects on an individual with internal struggles, however proper support and guidance will alleviate it.…
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?…
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence based treatment approach to assisting children and adolescents affected by various kinds and amounts of trauma. Research has shown time and time again that for children affected by trauma, lifelong problems can occur if the untreated trauma continues and can yield astonishing disruptive behaviors. There are a number of studies that have been conducted proving TF-CBT to be the most effective treatment approach for trauma victims’ and their families, especially children. The premise of this article is to both introduce and attempt to explain what TF-CBT is, review the literature that is currently available providing efficacy for effectiveness of TF-CBT for children and adolescents that…
The main focus will be to gather information in the main areas of needs and wants, selecting appropriate intervention strategies…
Develop a reward menu for the individual selected for this intervention. Decide how many points that you will require the student to earn to 'buy' specific rewards.…
Effective behavior interventions are planned, data-driven, and based on an assessment of the behav- ior. Undertaking an “intervention” without an assessment or a plan can lead to increased misbehavior. A BIP is individualized for the student, designed for the settings where the behavior occurs, and imple- mented consistently across those settings. Follow-up, monitoring, and revision of the BIP are essential as the identified inappropriate behavior is replaced by an acceptable behavior.…
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) was developed by psychologists J.A. Cohen and, Mannarino, Knudset and Sharon. TF-CBT has been developed for those who have experienced psychological trauma, often on a great scale of magnitude. It is important to define trauma; “There are two types of trauma — physical and mental........A response could be fear. It could be fear that a loved one will be hurt or killed. It is believed that more direct exposures to traumatic events causes greater harm. For instance, in a school shooting, an injured student will probably be more severely affected emotionally than a student who was in another part of the building. However, second-hand exposure to violence can also be traumatic. This includes witnessing violence such as seeing or hearing about death and destruction after a building is bombed or a plane crashes.”…
Thomas Huberty's 2013 article delves into the development and treatment of childhood anxiety. Anxiety is a common problem affecting children both at home and in school environments, causing significant problems in personal, social, and academic performance (Huberty, 2010). Often overlooked or mistaken for attention deficits or low ability/motivation, if left untreated may worsen over time and produce more problems into adolescence and adulthood. Anxiety first emerges at about 7-8 months of age as stranger anxiety and at 12-15 months of age, separation anxiety is most prevalent. Both of these are typical and are indicators of development but will mostly dissipate by the end of their second year. Anxieties of infancy and preschoolers are primarily associated with fears of strangers, new situations, animals, the dark, loud noises, falling, and injury. With age, sources of anxiety transform to be more social and abstract, such as worrying about friendships, social acceptance, future events, and coping with changes. For the vast majority of cases, children cope well with these situations therefore severe or chronic anxiety is not common. Some of the main signs of anxiety in children, as shown here, are easily misinterpreted, but it is now widely accepted that parents and teachers play a vital role in prevention and intervention (Huberty 2010).…
Few studies have explored the attitudes of African American parents about child disability and Early Intervention Services. Research and data suggests that Early Intervention services are effective in preparing preschool aged children identified with disabilities for school. However, the under-representation of African American children enrolled in Early Intervention is an ongoing policy concern. This exploratory study examined the perceptions and attitudes of African American parents about child disability and Early Intervention services. In-depth, qualitative interviews were conducted with 10 African American mothers in a midsize Southeastern city. Parental social support, parental spiritual connection, healthy parental childhood…
The second evidenced based family intervention model that is applicable to this problem is Dialectical Behavior. Dialectical Behavior or DBT is another extension of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Developed in the late 1980’s through psychologist Marsha M. Linehan its development sought to be a better treatment modality to treat individuals present with borderline personalities. With DBT being able to be utilized in a variety of mental health settings it is a great modality for individuals and families that present severe mental health issues, post-traumatic stress and even addictions. DBT incorporates the following five components throughout its treatment:…
Task 1 Q4 – Explain how different types of intervention can promote positive outcomes for children and young people where development is not following the expected pattern.…
I became interested in this topic when a self-contained classroom began to push into my blended program. I am finding that several of the students in the other class qualify for services based upon a diagnosis of autism. I want to find ways to best support the needs of students with autism within my classroom setting. The time of day in which these students push in is centers, so it is especially important to me to find ways to incorporate them within the play of peers.…
The benefits of behavioral intervention (BI) for children with ADHD have been highlighted, but define it as one valid intervention for everyone, which will make long-term differences, is improper. It is important to specialize behavior modifications for each child, and make sure these modifications implement in different settings consistently. In order to maintain improvements, studies call attention to the need for switching between different type treatments without delay (Chronis et al., 2004; Loren et al., 2015). Concurrently, some studies also suppose the combined intervention which include both behavioral components and pharmacological treatment, particularly with different stimulant medications, will be the most effective short-term treatment…
There are several forms of sexual trauma that can occur today. Individuals who experience any form of sexual trauma are more likely to suffer from a mental illness (Laureate Education, 2010). For example, individuals who experience a sexual trauma are 3 times are likely to suffer from depression and 6 times more likely to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Laureate Education, 2010). This discussion post will focus on child sexual abuse and drug facilitated sexual assault along with the interventions to help the survivors.…
