Monster Study In 1939, Mary Tudor and Wendell Johnson performed a stuttering experiment on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa. The purpose of the experiment was to induce and make healthy children learn how to stutter. He wanted to prove that stuttering was not a genetic cause. He believed that labeling children as a stutterer caused them to become a stutterer. 22 orphans ranging from age 5 to 15 were used. 10 of the orphans were already marked as stutterers before the experiment. The kids…

more children with ADHD together. It looks like chaos, but the children have a wonderful time playing together and they understand one another perfectly well. In years gone by I often wanted to intervene to get everyone involved and to explain the rules. However, they are perfectly capable of doing it themselves, albeit in a lan- guage that is very difficult to follow. They involve one another and no-one is side- lined or rejected. Overhastiness ADHD suffers often misinterpret…

things that are a little different that he does is that he must knock 3 times of his neighbor Penny’s door. He does not quite understand sarcasm when it is spoken to him but he uses it often himself. Many of his personality traits point towards Asperger Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and asexuality; however, the show’s co-creator Bill Prady has stated on numerous occasions that the character of Sheldon was…

This chapter explores the theories behind the development of ASD and highlights several studies highlighting scientific research into the cause behind Autism. Chapter 2 primarily focuses on assessments at several different levels. The first type of assessment is a screener that is given to children who may be at risk for…

Dell’Antonia’s article, Sesame Street Has a New Character With Autism. Will Kids Without it Ever See her, explores the addition of Julia, a character who is autistics. Two stereotypes associated with having autism are that it mainly affects boys and that these children are weird and different (Dell’Antonia, 2). The thought of adding Julia to the popular children’s show is to help educate many who are uninformed about autism. Lots of consideration went into to creating Julia as the producers…

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 out of every 68 children born will be diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Common characteristics of autism are “difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors” (“What is Autism”).

1.) Researchers at the Washington University Neonatal Development Research Lab used FMRI to study the brains of pre-term/full-term infants and found differences in brain development, especially in social/communication centers. Currently, data is being analyzed to see if pre-term infants have a greater risk of developing ADHD/Autism later on (Williams 2015). 2.) The issue is that pre-term infants may have an increased chance of developing ADHD/Autism disorders. This relates to developmental…

Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder, caused by brain damage, which affects body movement and muscle coordination. “The brain damage is caused by brain injury or abnormal development of the brain that occurs while a child’s brain is still developing — before birth, during birth, or immediately after birth” (MyChild, 2016). No two cases of cerebral palsy are alike. Cerebral palsy is life altering and those diagnosed with this chronic disease have to learn to adapt in every different aspect…
