In Erik Larson’s “Devil in the White City” his character Olmstead said “that we are always personally under an agitating pressure and cloud of anxiety.” This quote directly resonates with my life and how I subject myself and my body to physiological symptoms of anxiety, especially towards things that are not that serious. One task that causes me to feel uncomfortable is calling a stranger on the phone. I will delay making the call even if it’s regarding a minor question such as finding out the opening and closing times for a store. It’s on the edge of becoming a professional handicap, because calling is a useful way to get a faster reply. Still, I would rather opt for sending an email regardless of how time consuming it will be to get a response.…
One might wonder what is the true definition of a developmental disability. A developmental disability is a cognitive, emotional, or physical impairment, especially one related to abnormal sensory or motor development that appears in infancy or childhood, and involves a failure or delay on progressing through the normal developmental stages. Working in the field of psychology I can peruse my goals and dreams of working with children and adolescents with developmental disabilities as a counseling psychologist. I can begin to make a change in the lives of children and adolescents. To me working towards becoming a counseling psychologist means paving the way buy giving these children and adolescents a voice. I want them to be able to communicate to me all their want, needs, and desires without having their parent or guardian be their voice. In the past I have worked with children, adolescents, and even adults with developmental disabilities and these individuals were never able to express how they really felt. There was someone always they to do it for them. I want to be the one to make a change. And for this reason I have decided…

Observing this toddler has taught me many things. I was able to learn about the different forms of child development and what it looks like. One of the major forms of child development is physical. The child experiences major child development during the first two years of life. During this time the child experiences gross-motor development. The skills obtained from these developments are the ability to run, jump, catch etc. During the observation of the infant I was able to witness some of these developments. For example over the course of my observation I noticed the infant had significantly improved his ability to stand up and sit down on his own. He was struggling when the observation but seemingly got more comfortable doing it over and over again. The walking stared to become natural and more second nature however it was awkward and difficult when the infant just started. The infant also became more comfortable gripping and grasping objects. Another form of development observed was cognitive development. This development includes the ability to think rhetorically and the ability to communicate with others. The child made significant development in this field he was able to learn more words and express his thoughts in an understanding manner. The infant’s ability to play and interact with other children has increased. His memory has increased and is able to remember certain things over time his able to memorize more things and can recognize familiar faces. The final form of physical development is social-emotional development. This stage involves dealing with other children and being able to pay attention to adult figures. The infant is able to obey the adults and other persons in charge. They also become more comfortable at expressing their emotions. The child is also able to learn empathy and…
Every child is unique and different. We will never encounter two children exactly the same. They have physical, emotional, and cultural differences. In a “normal” family these differences are things like blonde hair and blue eyes compared to brown hair and green eyes. There may be one child that is laid back and another that cries bloody murder at the very thought of a paper cut. In this profile of a disabled student the differences that I encountered were much more diverse than that. I will talk about the physical, emotional and cognitive, and socio-emotional development of the student. I will also talk about the things that I found out while in the classroom.…

“Erikson whole heartedly held to the idea that development was not simply psychosexual but also psychosocial. The idea of this paper is to recognize my personal and present psychosocial stage of development. I will attempt to review the behaviors and influences on my relationships along with the negative and positive outcomes of my stage of psychosocial development. I will also discuss other developmental influences that have shaped my personality.…
Society comprises individuals and communities of remarkable diversity. In addition to racial, ethnic, social, economic, and religious differences, people also have physical differences, which include a wide spectrum of abilities. Along this spectrum lie a range of impairments, or disabilities, and to fully understand the implications of impairment and disability, it is important to define the two terms. In an effort to accomplish this, and to illustrate two opposing views on impairment and disability, the ideas of artist-activist Liz Crow and film director-producer Josh Aronson will be examined. In doing so, the argument will be made that in order to move toward a society where prejudice and barriers no longer…

Children with intellectual disability face challenges that affect all the family members and both internal and external relationships. Intellectual disability is defined as mental retardation, involves significant either mild or significant impairments in intellectual functioning. It might cause limitations in adaptive behaviour and cognitive reasoning that begin prior to the age of 18 (AAIDD, 2010) . This situation exists even after the context of community environment and mental limitations are measured and considered (Schalock, et al., 2007). Adaptive behaviour such as personal…
