For children poor development affects health, behaviour and learning later on in life. The severity of reduced development depends on the disability (Mustard, 2010). Colourblindness can be classed as a condition, visual impairment and disability (Albany Ward, 2015). There are 3 main types of colour blindness: Deuteranopia, Protanopia and Tritanopia. Colourblindness affects 1 in 12 boys and 1 in 200 girls. There are approximately 400,000 colour blind pupils in British schools today, 95,000 of whom have the condition severely. Children are not systematically screened for colourblindness and therefore studies show that 80% of colour blind pupils are undiscovered when they commence secondary school (Albany Ward, 2015). This highlights the possibility
Kayden is a four (4) year old Caucasian male currently residing in Modesto, California. Kayden was born on November 28, 2011 in Modesto, California. Kayden has not experienced any major illnesses or surgeries in lifetime, has no allergies to medication, but has seasonal pollen allergies. Kayden is on target with physical development (scoring in the ninety-five percentile for his age group per his father). Kayden’s mother and father are both very healthy, though high blood pressure and cholesterol run in his father’s family. Kayden’s mother and father both have vision issues and wear glasses so there is a possibility for vision issues, though he does not show any signs of problems currently. A strength in this area would be his family history being void of any major disease of illness, and a barrier of this could be his vision issues. These factors did not influence the developmental assessment.
Other children with mild learning disability can grow up to be independent. Also, a child can have a specific learning difficulty in reading, writing or understanding what is said to them, but have no problem with learning skills in other areas of life. A child who has learning difficulties should be encouraged to develop in all areas to the best of their ability and as much as they can. Health If a child suffers from poor health or a physical disability or impairment, this may affect their developmental opportunities. For example, a child who has a medical condition or impairment may be less able to participate in some activities than other children. This may initially affect physical development, but may also restrict social activities, for example, on the playground. The child’s emotional development may also be affected, depending on their awareness of their needs and the extent to which they are affected. External Factors: Poverty and deprivation: Poverty and deprivation are likely to have a significant effect on pupil development. Statistics show that children who come from deprived backgrounds are less likely to thrive and achieve well in school, as parents will find it more difficult to manage their children’s needs, which will in turn impact on all areas of their development. These will all affect the way in which pupils are able to respond to different situations. Looked after/care status: If a child is looked

Children who have visual impairment usually have some vision; this can vary from each child. Some children may be able to see outlines of objects while others may only be able to tell the difference between light and dark. If a child has vision problems this nearly always initially delays their physical development. Their gross and fine motor skills would be affected because they would be unable to be as adventurous as children with good vision. Fine motor skills may not be in line with other children as the child would find it hard to do tasks that require precision such as threading beads or colouring a picture. Cognitive and language skills would also be affected, even if the child was able to read it would take longer to learn especially if it involved using braille. With the right interventions in place there is no reason why a child with visual impairment would not be able to catch up with their peers.
Could orange colored lenses dictate my future? Would they change the way my friends see me? Would they help me get through high school and into college? These are just a few questions I found myself struggling with seven years ago. In fourth grade while reading audibly, my teacher noticed I might have a reading disability. As I skipped lines, mixed up words, and even confused words as others, my teacher discussed the concern with my parents. Were there eye problems, was it dyslexia or a learning disorder? Being that all of these conditions were checked, with no conclusive answer, we only knew I was behind on my reading and comprehension skills.
Screening can only suggest that there is a high probability of dyslexia. This however may change as recent research suggests that there is a genetic marker that can be identified in children with dyslexia (Fisher et al 2002). Currently however, a workable programme has yet to materialise. Screening currently considers a wide range of abilities, such as word recognition, writing style and speed, organisational skills and memory.
John Dalton has been known to have discovered his own colour blindness in the year of 1794, seeing pink as blue and scarlet as green. The vitreous humor is known as a gel that can fill a space that is in-between the lens and retina of the eyeball, it’s also known as vitreous body. There are around 1 in 12 man and 1 out of 200 women that colour blindness affects in their everyday life, there are also different types of colour blindness that affects many such as Deuteranomaly or Protanomaly are also known as red-green where they find it difficult to see reds, greens, browns and oranges. Monochromatic which is seeing no colour at all. In a person’s eye there are three colours that make up all the colours that show in someone that is colour blind they have a faulty hue of colour and
Couple 3 comes into your office. The husband is color blind; the wife is heterozygous for the color-blindness allele.
In his article, “Why Millennials Can’t Afford to Be Colorblind” for the online edition of the Times, Victor Luckerson demonstrates how denying the existence of racism results in a country unable to discuss sensitive topics and progress. As a result of that, the public school systems, which there are 49.5 million students, are still segregated.
Since you were assassinated, many incidents and changes have occurred. First and foremost, your death conveyed somber emotions and rage within the black community. Violence and controversy followed. Outrage at the idea your assassination was partially or fully responsible on the government, riots broke out across the nation the weekend you were murdered. Publish accounts claim nine to eleven people died, however, there was no official death toll. In addition, three hundred fifty people were arrested, and one hundred sixty two buildings were destroyed. In April 11, 1968, following the riots, President Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act of 1968, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental and financial of housing. Despite the nature of the Fair Housing Act, housing remain segregated in many areas of the United States in the years that followed; however, we have managed to overcome many obstacles since then, and have establish a new system and way of living in many parts of the United States. Although racial inequality still exists in America, it is accurate to say racial equality is much closer than it was when you were alive.
Learning disabilities are a life long struggle but if caught at a young age and early intervention takes place. The stress on the child and family is greatly reduced. Learning disabilities spread to every part of a child’s life affecting them socially. Teachers must remain professional and refrain from calling students lazy as in Adams case. A good teacher or specialist can demystify a learning disability and help a child’s
Some of the early signs of red-green colorblindness include using wrong colors for objects, having low attention spans when engaging in color assignments, and denial on color issues. Additional signs may include wrong color identification on low light, and failing to differentiate between red and green color.
There are many different types of learning disabilities; the most common ones are dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. (Jerome Rosner. –third ed. 1)
In experiments, there are always cases of error. One of my errors which also could lead to my experiment being inconclusive would be that all the people have different levels of color blindness and I did not know which type each person had. Another would be having a big age gap in the older males that could have affected my data because there was only one outlier. I could improve my project by finding out what level of color blindness they have and doing it based on a level. Also I could have done closer ages and not had such a big outlier. If I redid my experiment I would have done my test on a certain level of color blindness because the person's answer would vary depending on the level they had. My findings are important because it could
