Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 9 page paper provides an overview of this issue. Children with disabilities often face a number of challenges, including struggles with socialization, communication and educational attainment. Often restrictions in physical activity, motor coordination and communication can influence how they are perceived by others, how they perceive themselves and how they function in the world. Motivational techniques and improvements in assistive technology have provided children with disabilities with avenues for improving their function, allowing many to reach goals that few thought they could ever achieve.

activity, motor coordination and communication can influence how they are perceived by others, how they perceive themselves and how they function in the world. Motivational techniques and improvements in
assistive technology have provided children with disabilities with avenues for improving their function, allowing many to reach goals that few thought they could ever achieve. Individual to
be Served "Beth" is a 16 year old girl who was born with a chromosomal defect that caused congenital microcephally. As a result of the small size of her
skull and the subsequent restrictions over her development, Beth is non-verbal, though she has shown the capacity for using both sign language and an assistive communication devise. Though Beth
is ambulatory, she lacks some fine motor skills, and so the use of assistive technology is limited to devices that are easy to touch, easy to manipulate and easy to
carry. The diagnosis of Beths physiological condition is based on the assessment of her head size, that is more than three standard deviations below average, but this condition in
itself does not distinguish microcephalic children as automatically requiring services. Some microcephalic children are much higher functioning than Beth, but the small size of her skull and the restrictions
on brain development have resulted in Beths diagnosis of a significant developmental disability. Beth has some other significant limitations that sometimes hinder her ability to function and communicate
with others. Beth has a large overbite, which has resulted from the shift in the structure of her skull that has resulted from her condition. Like many microcephlic
children, Beths skull did not grow, while her face continued to develop. As a result, she is able to say just a few words, including "ya" for "yes" and
