To better acquaint you with specific types of developmental disabilities, you will research and write a two-page fact sheet discussing the disability.
Each fact sheet should include the following:
• Name of disability
• Cause(s) of disability
• Motor characteristics (if any) related to disability
• Cognitive characteristics (if any) related to disability
• Behavioral characteristics (if any) related to disability
• Health problems (if any) associated with disability
• Detailed List of resources/references to find out more about disability (including articles/books (APA reference format, Internet sites (with name of site), and organizations (include aIDress and phone number (minimum of 5 each).
You can be creative with this assignment and present it like a handout or you can write it in paragraph form. If you choose to use a brochure or handout format just make sure to include all information and not to skimp on information because you may be short of space. I need it to be thorough.
Also please make sure to review the definition of a disability before choosing your topic. If you choose a topic that is not considered a disability then you will receive a “0” for the assignment. If you are unsure about what you might want to do please contact me first and I can say yay or nay.
