XX is a five-year-old girl with a diagnosis of McCune Albright Syndrome. Results from the current evaluation indicate that XX ’s cognitive functioning is in the average range for her age, with significant strength in regard to her visual working memory skills. Her verbal memory skills are at an age appropriate level. XX ’s visual perception and visual motor skills are in the average range for her age. XX ’s adaptive communication and socialization skills were reported by her parents to be at an age appropriate level. Her daily living skills (personal self-care skills such as bathing and dressing and domestic skills, such as household chores) were in the moderately low range for her age, though her parents reported that the challenge is at times due to her physical limitations and at times due her resistant to complete activities of this type. At the evaluation, ways to address the physical challenges were discussed with XX ’s parents, such as strategies such as adding a zipper pull to her zippered jackets to help her successfully pull up zipper independently. The use of strategies to address her occasional non-compliance was also discussed, such as using visual schedules with pictures outlining the steps of her …show more content…

Without her parents providing support she would most certainly have scored differently on some areas of the assessment. MM’s first area in which she experiences mild problems is in functional mobility. As previously mentioned, most of her issues with mobility are due to a loss of balance caused by her toe walking. Although it does not happen often, MM exhibits slight problems with going up and down both indoor and outdoor stairs. Also she has problems with transfers in and out of vehicles, although some of this difficulty is due to her 4’6 height.

Co-sleeping is a hotly debated topic between mothers and scholars alike. Should children and infants sleep with their parents or should they sleep in their own space? Many people believe that co-sleeping is vastly superior and has numerous benefits, short-term and long-term, while others believe that co-sleeping is dangerous. A large divide between those who are for co-sleeping and those who are against it comes from cultural differences in the Western world and everywhere else. I will be arguing that co-sleeping is natural and that parents should be encouraged to co-sleep with their children by pediatricians and parent educators.

In the case study, I would like to use several theories and concepts to analysis the case of Susan. I would briefly analysis the case by using social ecological theory and analysis in detail by using the relevant theories. According to the social ecological theory, the child development is supported by five subsystems, including the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Microsystem is related to the child has direct interaction with, including classmates and parents.
Perspective is a chosen approach that can be used to study any subject in the field of sociology. These perspectives highlight the diverse methods an individual selects to analyze a theme and how they perceive the society in general. Three sociological perspectives include functionalist, conflict and interactionist perspectives (Thompson, Hickey, & Thompson, 2016, p. 2). Throughout this paper, I examine how we analyze the role of television from the functional, conflict, and interactionist approaches. Functionalist perspective on a macro-sociological level places far more emphasis on “the collective life or communal existence than on the individual” (Thompson, Hickey, & Thompson, 2016).
