Question: Role of the Family

Please keep in mind that providing scholarly support for all assignments is needed and that support must be cited and referenced in APA style. Appropriate scholarly sources need to be used and bulk information cannot be taken from other sources.

The importance of families cannot be overstated in dealing with children with exceptionalities. Despite the high incidence of exceptionalities such as learning disabilities and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, families often feel isolated and experience significant stress.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the roles of families and the positive and negative impact children with disabilities can have on the family.

Be sure to review the following article from the readings for this module:

• Dyson, L. (2010). Unanticipated effects of children with learning disabilities on their families. Learning Disability Quarterly, 33, 43-55. (Search the library using the name of the article and/or the name of the author to retrieved this from the library. It is in the EBSCO Host database).

Based on your research, address the following:

1. Provide a brief overview of the main points of the article.

2. Describe at least two things you learned from the article.

3. Describe the potential challenges and benefits for families who have one or more children with exceptionalities.

4. Evaluate the influence of the cultural background of children with high-incidence exceptionalities (such as learning disabilities) on how they are approached by the following:

• Their families

• Their schools

• Their communities

5. Describe the ecocultural perspective. Based on your readings, describe supports or interventions you would recommend from this perspective. Be sure to address families, schools, and communities.

Write a 3-5-page paper in Word format. Be sure to include separate title and reference pages. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

This is 3-5 pages of actual content, not 3-5 pages overall.

Make sure you use current scholarly sources of research no more than seven years old, not old sources, general websites, general sources, etc. See the reminders in the course.

Bulk information should not be used from other sources including listing of information from other sources, bulk quoting, block quotes, etc.
