Impact on Family Functioning

There are multiple types of exceptionalities with some being more severe than others. For example, Down syndrome and cerebral palsy are types of exceptionalities that affect the cognitive, behavioral, and physical functioning of a child or adolescent. Children and adolescents with learning disorders and pervasive disorders such as autism spectrum disorders or Asperger syndrome may have difficulty with social interactions and often require academic remediation. No matter the exceptionality, it can have a dramatic impact on family functioning. For example, stress levels can increase between spouses, the physical demands of caring for children and adolescents with exceptionalities can be exhausting, and managing difficult behaviors of a child or adolescent can take a toll on all members of a family. Parents may feel guilt, remorse, sadness, and grief over having a child with exceptionality.
If you plan to work with children or adolescents with exceptionalities, you must have a firm understanding of the various types of exceptionalities so you can understand the needs of the child and adolescent. It also provides you an understanding of the needs of the family so you can develop and implement effective interventions. Keep in mind when working with parents of children with exceptionalities that while they generally love their children, it can be challenging to care for them and you must help the parents feel supported and free of judgment.
For this Discussion, search the Walden Library, current literature, and reputable sources on the Internet and select a journal article researching a type of exceptionality. Consider the impact the exceptionality may have on a family. Reflect upon whether a female or male child might impact the family functioning differently. Consider what type of intervention and support you might provide the family to improve family functioning.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post a brief description of the exceptionality you selected. Then, explain two ways the exceptionality may affect family functioning and how. Finally, explain one evidence-based intervention and how you might use it to improve family functioning. Be specific and support your response using the article you selected.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the week’s resources.

analyzing a work of literature

Please read and use this note to rewrite the essay as it was feedback from the professor.

This works as a thesis statement: “The theme of this short story by Premchand is sacrifice and selfless love.” Make sure to keep that as your focus throughout the essay. Use your plot analysis to show us how this is the story’s theme. You do this some of the time, but in the middle of the essay there are some parts where you could make this connection more clear.

You have occasional word choice errors. For example, you say the story is written during Eid, when I think you actually mean that it is set during Eid. You claim that the reader incorporates figures of speech, when actually it is the writer who does this. Read through carefully to find the other spots where you’re using the wrong word.

You say a little bit about the historical/cultural context of this story, but this part could use more elaboration.
