MPS612 Developmental Issues Across the Life Span

Module 4 Assignment

Case
Assignment

MPS 612 –
Case Topic

For your
case assignment, you are to write a hypothetical case study of one person with
a disability, from birth through age 12. You can choose any disability we have
studied so far. (You may also choose one we have not covered – but please run
that by me first). The purpose of this assignment is to show your understanding
of the

infant and
childhood development of someone with a disorder. Use readings from the first 4
modules and your own research to back up your case study with facts about
children with this disorder. Make sure to cite all of your sources. Because all
children have individual differences, you do not need to outline every possible
developmental trajectory of the disorder. This is the point of doing a case
study – you need only envision the individual development of one child. The following
is a sample outline for the paper:

Section 1: Introduce
the case and the disability. For example:

This case study will describe the life of
Jenny, a 12-year-old female of Taiwanese descent. Jenny was diagnosed with
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) when she was four years old. According to the
American Psychiatric Association (2013), ASD is a disorder characterized by…

Jenny lives
with…

Section 2: Describe
the infant development (birth to 12 months) of your case, milestones met and
when, and things the parents or caregivers may have noticed (or not noticed) at
this stage. If applicable, include here any prenatal factors that may have
influenced the child’s development. It is possible that the child you are
studying did not show any developmental delays in this stage. If this is the
case, outline your case’s normal development for this age range.

Section 3: Describe
the early childhood development (1-5 years) of your case, milestones met and
when, and things the parents or caregivers may have noticed (or not noticed) at
this stage. It is possible that the child you are studying did not show any
developmental delays in this stage. If this is the case, outline your case’s
normal development.

Section 4: Describe
the middle childhood development (6-12 years) of your case. For this age range,
focus on issues that may develop in school, symptoms teachers may notice,
interventions needed in the classroom, and/or peer relationships.

Section 5: Brief
conclusion summarizing the main points of your case.
