...Day by day your child is developing and learning something new. Everywhere you look you see charts about what your child should be doing at what age. When to be concerned is a heavy question on the minds of new parents. Early intervention, as many of us know, is the best thing we can do to help your children however, every child develops at their own rate. I speak only from experience. My son just turned ten and is developmentally delayed and has been walking the thin line towards an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) since he was very young. The hardest part of being his parent is understanding what he is thinking and relating that to his acts of passion. SPECIFIC AGE: birth to 24 months (when recognizing an ASD it is difficult to pin point a specific age) DESCRIBE THE OBSERVABLEBEHAVIORS THAT A CHILD WITH THIS DELAY MIGHT EXHIBIT? A child with an ASD might have trouble being cuddled, wrapped tightly in a blanket (swaddling), or even begin to smile at you. By 4 months of age this child may find it difficult to follow bright colors, show interest in people, or even turn his/her head towards loud noises. Between 6 and 9 months of age, a child with ASD may cry when he/she is happy, have difficulty expressing joy in facial expressions, and may have minimal cooing or babbling. By 12 months of age, a child with an ASD may not respond when his/her name is called and may not be interested in social games like peek-a-boo. Between ages 12 and 24 months, this child may become more reserved...

...Today, there is a lot of scrutiny among police and whether their actions are justified or not. Early intervention systems are a great topic to discuss, since police are being highlighted by social media as being overly-aggressive. Because the use of social media has become an everyday activity for numerous people, many have caught police doing unlawful acts or using unnecessary force. The visuals captured by these social media users have been used to place police misconduct on a higher pedestal, but the use of early intervention systems help prevent police misconduct by addressing the issues as soon as they become noticeable. The purpose of early intervention systems for law enforcement is to identify and help officers who are suffering from stress prior to a major incident. The stress could either come from their job or personal life. For example, if an officer is going through a divorce, his demeanor on the job may be full of rage, and he may take his anger or aggression out on someone he pulls over. There are numerous key identifiers that can get an officer enrolled in this program: Officers who have an increased amount of complaints, use of force incidents, sick time, shooting incidents, vehicle accidents, and civil litigation are all indicators that an officer is having trouble. Early intervention systems are also used to...

...The early intervention is a national program that initiated in the 1975 Education of All Handicapped Children Act. This law aims to help children in 36 months with disability, just like giving services like checking the children, giving some medications and urgent actions. This law also is centered to children who are not growing according to the standard pattern of development or children who are at risk and even those who are developmentally delayed. The first thirty sixth month of a baby’s life is the most critical of development. It might be physically or cognitively. Due to it criticality, the said months offer a window gives an opportunity that will maybe or not be available in the later part of the development. Early intervention programs...

...In a recent study of a U.S. metropolitan area estimated that 3.4 of every 1,000 children ages 3 to 10 had autism. (Psychology Today, 2015). Autism is found in every country and region of the world and in families of all racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. This wide range of prevalence points to a need for earlier and more accurate screening for the symptoms of ASD. The earlier the disorder is diagnosed, the sooner the child can be helped through treatment interventions. Pediatricians, family physicians, day-care providers, teachers, and parents may initially dismiss signs of ASD, optimistically thinking the child is just a little slow and will catch up. Although early intervention has a dramatic impact on reducing symptoms...

...Adopting a family systems theory, which can be defined as understanding people not in isolation, but as part of their family can help shift the current systems theory, which fails to see the youth as part of a larger family entity and translates the youth in how they fit into the “system”. Currently, there is a model of intervention for youth with first episode psychosis called Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) program in British Columbia that works to create a “care pathway” (Fraser EPI Program, 2017). In this program, youth and adolescents have an individualized plan created to provide “a practical "best practices" guide to care that fits within the system in which care is being offered, standardize care and reduce variation in practice...

...loses control. Prison, insanity or death are what awaits the person who fails to get help. As a loved one with a vested interest in yout family member's life, you do have the ability to make a difference. An early intervention could be all it takes to save a life and stop an addiction from truly taking hold. When is Early Intervention Possible It's never too early for an intervention if you believe your loved one is using/abusing drugs and/or alcohol. In fact, the sooner you show your concern for altered behavior, the better. The key to an early intervention is recognizing the signs of addiction. While the signals may vary based on the substance in question, any radical change in a loved one's behavior should strike a cord and raise concern. Awareness is the key. It's also important to not be afraid of stepping forward and...

...It is no doubt that early intervention is the most feasible approach in preventing severity and complication of conditions. Nurses can help prevent exacerbation of current patient’s situation by acting on time and ensuring the delivery of care in proactive rather than reactive. According to Brown, 2016, most of the conditions complicates following delayed intervention that complicates the condition. In addition, early intervention not only reduces the severity or the complications associated with the condition, but they also help in saving on health care expenses. The cost of care is directly related to duration of hospitalization and the complexity of the condition or the intervention needed, which can both be significantly reduced through ensuring there is a timely intervention (Deitrick et al., 2012). One of the approaches that can help improve early intervention is a frequent evaluation of the patient and ensuring the evaluation steps entails an integrated approach. Such an assessment identifies needs over and beyond what the patient is admitted for, which if left...

...Early Intervention Criteria – The Code of Practice and the Common Assessment Framework Best practice, according to the Early Years Foundation Stage, now incorporates regular and routine observation of children. Of course, just observing a child is not sufficient – the information you gather from observing the child AND from talking to the parents must be used effectively and efficiently. Factual information from observations will contribute to the child’s profile, and therefore to a regular assessment. An assessment is done by comparing what the child can do NOW with published developmental norms. These can be found on the Internet in the form of a document called “Early Years Outcomes”, published Sept 2013 and produced by the Department of Education. This comparison will establish whether the child is developing typically or atypically, and identify areas where the child may...

...The children, as described by their parents, had multiple developmental, self-care, medical needs and more severe physical disability. There was a moderate correlation between the age of the child and the number of years that the child participated in early intervention. The average number of years spent in early intervention was 4.1 years. A set of questions about the child's ability to move and perform regular daily tasks revealed information about the children from their parent's perspective. Parental estima- tion of the amount of assistance provided to their child during play and leisure activities is presented in Table 2, part B. Six families reported costs and service use for the full 6 years of early intervention. Parents with children aged over 7 years were included in the study and completed the questionnaire retrospectively....

...Summative Essay Is human intervention an ideological cover for the pursuit of other objectives? We all know what genocide is. We also heard of Holocaust and its Anne Frank diary. Such inhumane killings should not repeat in the modern history due to its immorality, and that is why we saw humanitarian interventions in Rwanda and Somalia in 1990s. However, it is questionable of what was the real purpose. I believe that humanitarian cause is necessary but not an adequate condition for any act of intervention, which can be shown by case studies. In order, I will discuss the meaning of intervention and its presumed ideologies. I will also list out the possible diplomatic objectives hid behind these actions and their significance compared to the original motives. Intervention and its ideologies: Failure from core objectives Interventions are defined as a use of threats or forces upon another nation to prevent or end violations of human rights occurred within its territory, ‘without the permission of the state within whose territory force is applied’ (Holzgrefe and Keohane, 2003: 18), implying an inevitable breach of sovereignty. We also have the non-violent resolutions such as humanitarian aids and economic sanctions, but the main focus here is on intervention involving armaments. Interventions are rooted from its core ideology: to save people. It is a ‘Responsibility to Protect’ (R2P) individuals from being deprived from basic needs, including food, shelter...

...Running head: PYRAMID Pyramid of Intervention Gregory Boston Grand Canyon University: EDA-561 April 23, 2012 Pyramid of Intervention Ideally, each scholar should be given an equivalent opportunity for education that will lend the appropriate amount of supports that is needed to reach their educational goals and to provide for their academic needs. This right references an individual’s constitutional entitlement and it is the right of each scholar. It is the basis of their right to receive the same free and appropriate instruction as their peers. When scholars are having difficulties accomplishing their academic goals and are not achieving as excepted, adequate supports are to be provided that will promote the integration of the pupil. The Pyramid of Intervention (POI) allows for a process that supports the scholars that continue to struggle to reach designated goals. Pyramid of Intervention is a term that is assigned to apply to systems of support. Such supports collectively collaboratively make available the needed supports for the student that has difficulties using traditional strategies. The mentioned supports and accommodations that may be able to generate a significant difference in the progression of educational achievements of the struggling learner. The author of this essay will attempt to elaborate on the definition and the purpose of the Pyramid of Intervention. It also elaborates on the use of the POI, and the process of creating one for a given district...

...provided: * Randomized Controlled Trials – An RCT is a study that measures interventions effect by randomly assigning a person or persons to intervene into a program environment where non-intervened groups can be observed as well. * Direct Controlled Trials – Environment factors can be directly controlled to test effectiveness of a weapon system or new technology expected to operate in the environments that are created and directly controlled. * Quasi-Experimental or Comparison Group Studies – those with compared to those without intervention. * Non-Experimental Direct Analysis – may be used to analyze why a program is so effective. More detailed descriptions of these basic assessment methodologies are provided by the author, who goes on to introduce one of the central challenges to developing strong evidence of a program’s effectiveness – VALID measurement of the outcome or impact of a program compared to VALID measurement of what outcomes would have been in the absence of the program. This probably leads to another supported white paper for modeling and simulation. This article goes on to support the RCT and the unique advantage it has to allow for the evaluation of the intervention itself, as opposed to other factors, that cause the observed outcomes. With large enough numbers in the intervention group, there can be no doubt that the observed differences are attributable to the intervention RCT. The random selection is...

...The intervention session will take place at an acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital – BESTRehab. The supplies needed includes an adjustable table, chair, washcloth, a variety of bathing items (shampoo, conditioner, loofah, and a towel), a video made by the occupational therapist or found online of an individual pushing a washcloth across a table, a device such as a computer to play the video, and an educational handout. The client will first be educated on what neuroplasticity is, followed by how engaging in action-observation training will further enhance the neuroplasticity of the brain. The client will also be informed on the importance of watching their hand when they are moving, because by doing this it will further increase the client’s...

...uses of Scripture in counseling? Scripture is the Word of God and is a fountain of wisdom. In the book of Hebrew says “the word of God is alive and active.” The most important therapeutic uses of scripture are: when personal problems arise, for example when there are feelings of guilt, anxiety, when there is suffering, trauma, stress and depression. Another therapeutic use of scriptures is in interpersonal conflicts, for example resentment family issues, marriage issues. Another important therapeutic use of the scriptures are when unfortunate events occur, for example the loss of a love one, financial problems, crisis caused by catastrophes. According to McMinn (1996) some counselors advocate using Scripture as a Therapeutic intervention for recovery groups with codependence problems, to help couples recover from sexual affairs, in child therapy using Narrative therapy and cognitive therapy using Scripture memory and meditation. In the book of Timothy, Paul says: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work”. In the book of Philippians 4:8 say “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praise worthy think about such things.” What are some cautions or possible negative impacts regarding the use of...
