  • The Stages Of Development In Piaget's The Village Watchman

    1304 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the beginning of the short story we learn Alan’s parents didn’t find out about his intellectual disability until he was 16 months old. We can assume the doctor wasn’t able to diagnose Alan for over a year, because he still went through the Sensorimotor Stage, just at a little slower pace than other children. In the sensorimotor stage we know that children learn object permanence and the use of their 5 senses. We know from the way Terry describes him, he is passed the first stage of development. This puts Alan into the Pre-Operational stage. In the Pre-Operational stage we know that children are very ego-centric meaning everything is their way. When they talk they only describe what they know, because they fail to understand other minds. Alan does just that throughout the story. For example Terry stated, “He was unpredictable. He created his own rules and they changed from moment to moment. Alan was twelve years old, hyperactive, mischievous, easily frustrated, and unable to learn in traditional ways.” (The Village Watchman, Pg. 29.) We as students and educators watch children go through this stage they are much like Alan. Children have a hard time sitting for long periods, they act out and if they can’t learn something easily they get frustrated just like Alan in the story. Most children eventually move passed this unlike Alan, because they learn from educators and get through the obstacles. Alan is not able to be educated through school and textbooks like most children in the story instead, he is learning through his experiences and interactions with the world helping him to develop cognitively. Terry tells us that he would vocalize whatever was on his mind with punctuated colorful speech. (The Village Watchman, Pg.30.) This tells us that Alan has yet to think through his actions. He does not know that he is being rude in

    Ben doesn’t have any interest in interacting with any of his family members, it is noted, “In fact, he completely ignores his sister.” (Perry & Condillac, 2003) He doesn’t use facial expressions or gestures such as pointing out his train to his sister, to communicate with others. Ben rarely looks at people even when they are trying to talk to him or when they try to get his attention and he rarely smiles. The third category is comprised of deficits in developing, maintaining and understanding relationships which includes difficulty adjusting one’s behaviour to social context, lack of interest in peers, and difficulties in making friends or sharing in imaginative play. Ben’s big sister tries to play with him but he rebuffs any of her attempts, or others, he ignores those around him, preferring to play by himself. Ben doesn’t pretend to make his train crash or go on train tracks nor does he make train sounds or use his imagination as to where the train is going or what it is

    Completed Studies involving ABA therapy have shown improvements in communication, social relationship’s, and school for children who suffer from Autism Spectrum Disorder. Results also showed that ABA also increased participation in family and community activities. MY theory involves creating individual customized intervention plans that will addresses the specific need of the participant, while also teaching the parent.

" Another quote is from the article "Autism" where author states that , "People with Autism share problems with language and social skills, but it is important to remember, that every person with Autism is unique. " This quote means that Ted, and other autistic people have difficulty communicating with other people. My brother proved it , when he had a hard time communicating with others through the phone.

  • The Challenges of Autism

    Did the child babble by 12 months? Were they able to respond to their name by 12months? Does he/she avoid eye contact and want to be alone? Depending on the answers, this child might be autistic. Autism is a term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders. (Web Editors with Autism Speaks, 2005-2011). These disorders include significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. People who have Autism process information in their brain differently than others. (CDC&P, 2010). With early intervention and treatment, this child’s development will be greatly improved. Since the life of an Autistic child’s parent is always busy, they can use as much help and information as they can get. A life coach would be able to help this parent organize their busy schedule, which would help to better handle everything that an Autistic child needs to improve their development. By defining a course of treatment, establishing a schedule, and looking into the long-term results of early intervention, an Autistic child’s parents will be more likely to help the child’s development.
