Introduction
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (also Hyperkinetic Disorder in the UK) is a complex mental health condition that is associated with hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention and is diagnosed in childhood, but can persist into adolescence through to adulthood. On the other hand, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is triggered by horror or terror through experience or witness of a traumatic event. It is usually synonymous with flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, coupled with unmanageable thoughts about the same incident.
Mental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and their effects on learning have been subjects of discussion over the periods. The underlying mechanisms of how they add to learning disabilities are one question that has brought about mixed reactions among the mental health professionals. Further questions as to whether they are neurological or psychological disorders have also been raised (Mason-Allgood, 2005). However, the answers are still debatable.
Background of the study
Education remains one of the greatest anchors of success in the world. It provides the keys to career opportunities to school going children as well as enlightening the generations. A vast majority of successful people owe it to education. Parents are therefore obliged to ensure that their children get the from the education sector in the best environment possible.
Our societies are prone to preventable disasters that frequently occur. The calamities range from parental conflicts, robbery, fatal road accidents, the demise of loved ones to national disasters such as terrorism and civil wars. These disasters have far-reaching effects on children, going beyond the physical into their mental orientation (Smith, 2010). Some of the children end up in trauma and stress by such events. Many of the bottlenecks that we have in our schools are evidence of ADHD (Tiah, 2013). The stress and trauma are substantially reflected in the manner of the decline in the children’s class performance, being linked closely to these disasters. For instance, a study revealed a young child with difficulties going to sleep, experienced a decline in concentration both at home and school. The study further showed that each time he hears a siren he raises the window shouting “Cops are coming! Cops are coming” (Thomas, 1996 p. 311). This steps up the need to put more emphasis on neurological and psychological examination.

How do parents manage the education of their child with Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Chapter 1: Introduction to the StudyIntroduction
In the recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). When parents receive an educational determination of autism for their child, both parents have the potential to be asymmetrically influenced. The “opportunity cost” to families of children with autism are defined as the alternatives experiences that foregone in terms of personal, social, and economical stressors (Amendah, Grosse, Peacock, & Mandell, 2011). A child diagnosed with an ASD can exhibit behaviors or actions that are overwhelming for a parent. Children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have many exacerbated behaviors that can increase a parent’s frustration.
A notable collection of research exists that reveals that overexertion can often occur when parenting a child with an ASD (Laxman, McBride, Jeans, Dyer, Santos, Kern, Sugimura, Curtiss, & Weglarz-Ward, 2014). There are a number of studies, on parental stressors in mothers and fathers of children with ASD (Laxman et al., 2014). However, there is very little research on how parents manage the education of their child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. This qualitative study will employ the use of a set of in-depth case studies, conceptualized within the social theory of symbolic interaction, to generate a solid narrative around familial factors related to parenting a child on the Autism Spectrum (Frieden, Joffe, Cono, Richards, & Iademarco, 2014).
Today’s educators report feeling unprepared to face the demanding task of teaching children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is not unexpected that parents and other stakeholders verbalize low levels of confidence in the capabilities of special education teachers (Tincani, Cucchiarra, Thurman, Snyder, & McCarthy, 2014). Research on the state of education and educator training programs has been going on for the past three decades (Buchanan, 2012; Gujarati, 2012; Gujarati, 2012), and has consistently displayed that teachers feel unready to work with parents. Regrettably, the results of the research have not manifested in substantial improvements in the circumstances.
Discovering methods of dealing with the educational process is dire. As stated, the number of children with ASD is on the rise (Frieden, Joffe, Cono, Richards, & Iademarco, 2014), and school officials and teachers will be challenged to adequately serve this growing population. Since current research does not provide an adequate response to the issue, this study will serve to explore this essential feature. One source of expertise, and also anxiety, may be parental involvement.

Background: Emotion regulation (ER) may be a critical underlying factor contributing to mental
health disorders in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Scant literature has utilised
self-reported ER in children with ASD and explored the association between mental health and
social skills. This study explored the association between self-reported ER skills, and parent/
teacher proxy reports of ER, social skills, autism severity and mental health.
Method: The pre-existing data set included a community sample of 217 students aged seven to
13-years (Mage = 9.51, SD = 1.26; 195 Male, 22 Female) with ASD. The study employed a
correlational design, whereby existing variables were explored as they occurred naturally (Hills,
2011). Children self-rated ER, while parents and teachers rated ER, social skills, and mental
health difficulties via standardised questionnaires.
Results: Multiple regression analyses were conducted separately for parent and teacher reports.
The linear combination of parent-reported emotion regulation, social skills, autism severity, and
child-reported ER accounted for 46.5 % of the variance, compared to 58.7 % for the teacher-
report analysis. Social skills appeared to be a stronger predictor of mental difficulties than
emotional regulation irrespective of source.
Conclusions: The current study suggests self-reported ER to be a significant contributor to mental
health when in isolation. However, in the context of social skills and autism severity, ER is no
longer a significant contributor in a child and adolescent community sample, in determining
mental health. This suggests, that for children aged seven to 13-years with ASD, without ID, to
reduce mental health difficulties, social skills may be the focus of intervention, with some focus
on ER ability.

Pedagogical Preparedness: Understanding Executive Functioning and High Functi...BARRY STANLEY 2 fasd
We set out herein to understand executive functioning for learners with autism. We focus on learners with high functioning autism (HFA) and explore a common goal for an Autistic Spectrum Disordered (ASD) population is to increase independence, thus enabling access to experiences and opportunities similar to neuro-typical individuals. We suggest in a somewhat counterintuitive manner, educators may be preventing this development by being overly supportive. This can inhibit ASD learners by denying tools and opportunities to enable themselves. Executive functioning (EF) skills can be taken for granted by neuro-typical learners but are essential skills that need to be explicitly taught to those on the autism spectrum. Herein we support educators and understand the deficits that learners with high functioning ASD experience with EF skills and encourage all to set goals and design programming for students.

Mental disorder is mainly a health term that is mainly used to refer to a variety of disorders that occur out of mental illnesses. Despite the fact that the majority of mental disorders have been reported during late adolescent and in adulthood, recent statistics have pointed out that there are still prevalent among children. When these illnesses occur among children, there are different problems that can result which may range from biological, emotional and social development. This study unraveled that a majority of the mental disorders are biologically based which implies that they are mainly triggered by biological factors. The study also pointed out that a majority of the problems that are triggered by these mental disorders are mainly behavioral in nature which can have a negative impact on the children affected by affecting how the eat, dress and behave and also affect the relationship between them and their families and also peers.
Mental illnesses or disorders in over 70% of the children are mainly triggered by a failure to effectively intervene at an early age. Some of the most common problems or illnesses that result from mental disorders include attention deficit disorders which affect 5% of the children with mental disorders at a given time (Judd, 2010). This is where children find it difficult to focus their attention and therefore making them to become impulsive and hard to settle down with other children.
The other problem is anxiety disorder which affects close to 6% of the children where the children become afraid of situations and things in a way that interferes with their daily lives. The other problem is conduct disorder which affects close to 3% of children whereby children become aggressive and destructive towards other children, adults, property and pets. The children also develop a less caring attitude about the important basic rules.
Some of the common problems that will be assessed in this study include how these mental disorders affect the basic daily activities of the children, how it may affect their school performance and finally how it may affect the relationship with their peers.
The first problem whereby it affects their daily activities, a child with the aforementioned problems such as those relating to anxiety, conduct disorder and anxiety hyperactivity disorder, the children may suddenly begin having a sleeping disorder whereby the child may have difficulties in getting sleep or on the other hand exhibit a heavy sleeping habit.
The problem can also affect their eating patterns which may also lead to a heavy sleeping pattern or a slow sleeping pattern. The anxiety may also make the child to develop some phobias such as water or particular clothes phobia and the ch ...

Abstract
The focus of the research will be oneffects of domestic violence on children with particular attention on those children brought up by intimate partners. Exposing children to domestic violence affects children psychologically, physically and emotionally. Literature suggests that domestic violence has lasting effects on children. This research will focus on children who have reached the school-going age from five years to thirteen years.
Introduction
Purpose of the Study
The study is aimed at researching and finding out the effects of domestic violence on children.
Scope of the Study
This study will focus on domestic violence in families from an intimate partner and how the children are affected by either being victims or witnesses.
The rationale of the Study
When children are exposed to domestic violence, their mental health is negatively affected. These are aspects that affect their ability to feel empathy and make them experience social discomfort. To understand the children's emotions, forensic psychologists use their expertise to assess and identify the sources of the problem.
The hypothesis of the Question
H1:Domestic violence affects the physical and emotional well-being of children
H2: Forensic psychologists provide wholesome support to children who experience or witness domestic violence
Key Concepts
Domestic violence: the abuse of power occurs when a partner physically or psychologically abuses or dominates the other.
Intimate partner violence: this is sexual, physical, or psychological abuse
Child abuse: this is emotional or physical harm by a caregiver to the child.
Forensic Psychologist: an expert in forensics and psychology.
Literature Review
Children living in an abusive home are more likely to experience social alienation. They are mentally affected and hence find it difficult to relate with others. According to Lloyd, this is an effect that affects their performance in school due to lack of concentration (2018). These children are also anxious because they can relate to the events taking place at home. Therefore, they perform poorly because of anxiety and fear that is directed towards adults, including teachers.
Maltreatment of the children affects them over a long time leading to emotional and psychological effects. The physiological changes are due to the effects on the child's brain. This leads to the changes that cause emotional stress and depression. According to Mallett and Schall, domestic violence against children is classified as criminal acts under the law (2019). The impacts they have can affect the future and mental stability of the child.
Although domestic violence is known to cause negative impacts on children, there are more cases not being reported. This is primarily due to the intimidation from the perpetrator (Sullivan, 2018). The child ...

School Effects on Psychological Outcomes During Adolescence
Eric M. Anderman
University of Kentucky
Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were used to examine school-level
differences in the relations between school belonging and various outcomes. In Study 1, predictors of
belonging were examined. Results indicated that belonging was lower in urban schools than in suburban
schools, and lower in schools that used busing practices than those that did not. In Study 2, the relations
between belonging and psychological outcomes were examined. The relations varied depending on the
unit of analysis (individual vs. aggregated measures of belonging). Whereas individual students’
perceptions of belonging were inversely related to depression, social rejection, and school problems,
aggregated belonging was related to greater reports of social rejection and school problems and to higher
grade point average.
Research on school-level differences during adolescence often
has focused on nonpsychological outcomes, such as academic
achievement and behavioral issues, instead of on psychological
outcomes (Roeser, 1998). Indeed, research on school-level differ-
ences in nonacademic variables is quite rare. The purpose of the
present research was to examine school-level differences in a
variety of psychological outcomes, using a large nationally repre-
sentative sample of adolescents.
School Effects on Student Outcomes
Although there is an abundant literature on effective schools,
most of the research in this literature has focused on academic
variables, such as achievement, dropping out, and grade point
average (GPA; e.g., Edmonds, 1979; Miller, 1985; Murphy, Weil,
Hallinger, & Mitman, 1985). This literature generally indicates
that schools that are academically effective have certain recogniz-
able characteristics.
Some of these studies have examined differences between pub-
lic schools and other types of schools. For example, some research
indicates that students who attend public schools achieve more
academically than do students who attend other types of schools
(e.g., Coleman & Hoffer, 1987). Other research suggests that there
may be a benefit in terms of academic achievement for students
who attend Catholic schools compared with non-Catholic schools
(Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993). Lee and her colleagues (Lee,
Chow-Hoy, Burkam, Geverdt, & Smerdon, 1998) found that stu-
dents who attended private schools took more advanced math
courses than did students who attended public schools. However,
they also found specific benefits for Catholic schools: Specifically,
in Catholic schools, there was greater school influence on the
courses that students took, and the social distribution of course
enrollment was found to be particularly equitable.
In recent years, psychologists have started to become interested
in the effects of schooling on mental health outcomes (e.g., Boe-
kaerts, 1993; Cowen, 1991; Roeser, Eccles, & Strobel, 1998;
Rutter,.
Personality Factors as Related to Stresses among Parents of Mentally Sub-Norm...inventionjournals
The purpose of the present investigation was to study personality factors as related to stresses
among parents of mentally sub-normal children. To measure the level of stress 30 item stress factor scale based
on (Olley, Brieger and Olley, 1997) and for measuring personality, 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire Hindi
adaptation by S.D.Kapoor (1970) was administered to 150 parents of mentally sub-normal children. Subjects
were in the age range of 35 to 55 years and were residents of the city of Meerut. The high and low scorer on
different factors of 16 PF were compared in respect of their stress level in 6 areas namely, hospital factors,
disease factors, financial factors, familial factors, psychological factors. Result indicates that out of 16
personality factors 7 factors A, B, E, F, H, O and Q4 were found to be significant in contributing to stress level
of the respondents. However a majority of personality factors like C,G,I,L,M,N,Q1, Q2 and Q3 were found to be
insignificant in corroborating the stress level of the subject.

How do parents manage the education of their child with Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Chapter 1: Introduction to the StudyIntroduction
In the recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). When parents receive an educational determination of autism for their child, both parents have the potential to be asymmetrically influenced. The “opportunity cost” to families of children with autism are defined as the alternatives experiences that foregone in terms of personal, social, and economical stressors (Amendah, Grosse, Peacock, & Mandell, 2011). A child diagnosed with an ASD can exhibit behaviors or actions that are overwhelming for a parent. Children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have many exacerbated behaviors that can increase a parent’s frustration.
A notable collection of research exists that reveals that overexertion can often occur when parenting a child with an ASD (Laxman, McBride, Jeans, Dyer, Santos, Kern, Sugimura, Curtiss, & Weglarz-Ward, 2014). There are a number of studies, on parental stressors in mothers and fathers of children with ASD (Laxman et al., 2014). However, there is very little research on how parents manage the education of their child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. This qualitative study will employ the use of a set of in-depth case studies, conceptualized within the social theory of symbolic interaction, to generate a solid narrative around familial factors related to parenting a child on the Autism Spectrum (Frieden, Joffe, Cono, Richards, & Iademarco, 2014).
Today’s educators report feeling unprepared to face the demanding task of teaching children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is not unexpected that parents and other stakeholders verbalize low levels of confidence in the capabilities of special education teachers (Tincani, Cucchiarra, Thurman, Snyder, & McCarthy, 2014). Research on the state of education and educator training programs has been going on for the past three decades (Buchanan, 2012; Gujarati, 2012; Gujarati, 2012), and has consistently displayed that teachers feel unready to work with parents. Regrettably, the results of the research have not manifested in substantial improvements in the circumstances.
Discovering methods of dealing with the educational process is dire. As stated, the number of children with ASD is on the rise (Frieden, Joffe, Cono, Richards, & Iademarco, 2014), and school officials and teachers will be challenged to adequately serve this growing population. Since current research does not provide an adequate response to the issue, this study will serve to explore this essential feature. One source of expertise, and also anxiety, may be parental involvement.

Background: Emotion regulation (ER) may be a critical underlying factor contributing to mental
health disorders in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Scant literature has utilised
self-reported ER in children with ASD and explored the association between mental health and
social skills. This study explored the association between self-reported ER skills, and parent/
teacher proxy reports of ER, social skills, autism severity and mental health.
Method: The pre-existing data set included a community sample of 217 students aged seven to
13-years (Mage = 9.51, SD = 1.26; 195 Male, 22 Female) with ASD. The study employed a
correlational design, whereby existing variables were explored as they occurred naturally (Hills,
2011). Children self-rated ER, while parents and teachers rated ER, social skills, and mental
health difficulties via standardised questionnaires.
Results: Multiple regression analyses were conducted separately for parent and teacher reports.
The linear combination of parent-reported emotion regulation, social skills, autism severity, and
child-reported ER accounted for 46.5 % of the variance, compared to 58.7 % for the teacher-
report analysis. Social skills appeared to be a stronger predictor of mental difficulties than
emotional regulation irrespective of source.
Conclusions: The current study suggests self-reported ER to be a significant contributor to mental
health when in isolation. However, in the context of social skills and autism severity, ER is no
longer a significant contributor in a child and adolescent community sample, in determining
mental health. This suggests, that for children aged seven to 13-years with ASD, without ID, to
reduce mental health difficulties, social skills may be the focus of intervention, with some focus
on ER ability.

Pedagogical Preparedness: Understanding Executive Functioning and High Functi...BARRY STANLEY 2 fasd
We set out herein to understand executive functioning for learners with autism. We focus on learners with high functioning autism (HFA) and explore a common goal for an Autistic Spectrum Disordered (ASD) population is to increase independence, thus enabling access to experiences and opportunities similar to neuro-typical individuals. We suggest in a somewhat counterintuitive manner, educators may be preventing this development by being overly supportive. This can inhibit ASD learners by denying tools and opportunities to enable themselves. Executive functioning (EF) skills can be taken for granted by neuro-typical learners but are essential skills that need to be explicitly taught to those on the autism spectrum. Herein we support educators and understand the deficits that learners with high functioning ASD experience with EF skills and encourage all to set goals and design programming for students.

Mental disorder is mainly a health term that is mainly used to refer to a variety of disorders that occur out of mental illnesses. Despite the fact that the majority of mental disorders have been reported during late adolescent and in adulthood, recent statistics have pointed out that there are still prevalent among children. When these illnesses occur among children, there are different problems that can result which may range from biological, emotional and social development. This study unraveled that a majority of the mental disorders are biologically based which implies that they are mainly triggered by biological factors. The study also pointed out that a majority of the problems that are triggered by these mental disorders are mainly behavioral in nature which can have a negative impact on the children affected by affecting how the eat, dress and behave and also affect the relationship between them and their families and also peers.
Mental illnesses or disorders in over 70% of the children are mainly triggered by a failure to effectively intervene at an early age. Some of the most common problems or illnesses that result from mental disorders include attention deficit disorders which affect 5% of the children with mental disorders at a given time (Judd, 2010). This is where children find it difficult to focus their attention and therefore making them to become impulsive and hard to settle down with other children.
The other problem is anxiety disorder which affects close to 6% of the children where the children become afraid of situations and things in a way that interferes with their daily lives. The other problem is conduct disorder which affects close to 3% of children whereby children become aggressive and destructive towards other children, adults, property and pets. The children also develop a less caring attitude about the important basic rules.
Some of the common problems that will be assessed in this study include how these mental disorders affect the basic daily activities of the children, how it may affect their school performance and finally how it may affect the relationship with their peers.
The first problem whereby it affects their daily activities, a child with the aforementioned problems such as those relating to anxiety, conduct disorder and anxiety hyperactivity disorder, the children may suddenly begin having a sleeping disorder whereby the child may have difficulties in getting sleep or on the other hand exhibit a heavy sleeping habit.
The problem can also affect their eating patterns which may also lead to a heavy sleeping pattern or a slow sleeping pattern. The anxiety may also make the child to develop some phobias such as water or particular clothes phobia and the ch ...

Abstract
The focus of the research will be oneffects of domestic violence on children with particular attention on those children brought up by intimate partners. Exposing children to domestic violence affects children psychologically, physically and emotionally. Literature suggests that domestic violence has lasting effects on children. This research will focus on children who have reached the school-going age from five years to thirteen years.
Introduction
Purpose of the Study
The study is aimed at researching and finding out the effects of domestic violence on children.
Scope of the Study
This study will focus on domestic violence in families from an intimate partner and how the children are affected by either being victims or witnesses.
The rationale of the Study
When children are exposed to domestic violence, their mental health is negatively affected. These are aspects that affect their ability to feel empathy and make them experience social discomfort. To understand the children's emotions, forensic psychologists use their expertise to assess and identify the sources of the problem.
The hypothesis of the Question
H1:Domestic violence affects the physical and emotional well-being of children
H2: Forensic psychologists provide wholesome support to children who experience or witness domestic violence
Key Concepts
Domestic violence: the abuse of power occurs when a partner physically or psychologically abuses or dominates the other.
Intimate partner violence: this is sexual, physical, or psychological abuse
Child abuse: this is emotional or physical harm by a caregiver to the child.
Forensic Psychologist: an expert in forensics and psychology.
Literature Review
Children living in an abusive home are more likely to experience social alienation. They are mentally affected and hence find it difficult to relate with others. According to Lloyd, this is an effect that affects their performance in school due to lack of concentration (2018). These children are also anxious because they can relate to the events taking place at home. Therefore, they perform poorly because of anxiety and fear that is directed towards adults, including teachers.
Maltreatment of the children affects them over a long time leading to emotional and psychological effects. The physiological changes are due to the effects on the child's brain. This leads to the changes that cause emotional stress and depression. According to Mallett and Schall, domestic violence against children is classified as criminal acts under the law (2019). The impacts they have can affect the future and mental stability of the child.
Although domestic violence is known to cause negative impacts on children, there are more cases not being reported. This is primarily due to the intimidation from the perpetrator (Sullivan, 2018). The child ...
School Effects on Psychological Outcomes During Adolescence.docxWilheminaRossi174
School Effects on Psychological Outcomes During Adolescence
Eric M. Anderman
University of Kentucky
Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were used to examine school-level
differences in the relations between school belonging and various outcomes. In Study 1, predictors of
belonging were examined. Results indicated that belonging was lower in urban schools than in suburban
schools, and lower in schools that used busing practices than those that did not. In Study 2, the relations
between belonging and psychological outcomes were examined. The relations varied depending on the
unit of analysis (individual vs. aggregated measures of belonging). Whereas individual students’
perceptions of belonging were inversely related to depression, social rejection, and school problems,
aggregated belonging was related to greater reports of social rejection and school problems and to higher
grade point average.
Research on school-level differences during adolescence often
has focused on nonpsychological outcomes, such as academic
achievement and behavioral issues, instead of on psychological
outcomes (Roeser, 1998). Indeed, research on school-level differ-
ences in nonacademic variables is quite rare. The purpose of the
present research was to examine school-level differences in a
variety of psychological outcomes, using a large nationally repre-
sentative sample of adolescents.
School Effects on Student Outcomes
Although there is an abundant literature on effective schools,
most of the research in this literature has focused on academic
variables, such as achievement, dropping out, and grade point
average (GPA; e.g., Edmonds, 1979; Miller, 1985; Murphy, Weil,
Hallinger, & Mitman, 1985). This literature generally indicates
that schools that are academically effective have certain recogniz-
able characteristics.
Some of these studies have examined differences between pub-
lic schools and other types of schools. For example, some research
indicates that students who attend public schools achieve more
academically than do students who attend other types of schools
(e.g., Coleman & Hoffer, 1987). Other research suggests that there
may be a benefit in terms of academic achievement for students
who attend Catholic schools compared with non-Catholic schools
(Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993). Lee and her colleagues (Lee,
Chow-Hoy, Burkam, Geverdt, & Smerdon, 1998) found that stu-
dents who attended private schools took more advanced math
courses than did students who attended public schools. However,
they also found specific benefits for Catholic schools: Specifically,
in Catholic schools, there was greater school influence on the
courses that students took, and the social distribution of course
enrollment was found to be particularly equitable.
In recent years, psychologists have started to become interested
in the effects of schooling on mental health outcomes (e.g., Boe-
kaerts, 1993; Cowen, 1991; Roeser, Eccles, & Strobel, 1998;
Rutter,.
Personality Factors as Related to Stresses among Parents of Mentally Sub-Norm...inventionjournals
The purpose of the present investigation was to study personality factors as related to stresses
among parents of mentally sub-normal children. To measure the level of stress 30 item stress factor scale based
on (Olley, Brieger and Olley, 1997) and for measuring personality, 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire Hindi
adaptation by S.D.Kapoor (1970) was administered to 150 parents of mentally sub-normal children. Subjects
were in the age range of 35 to 55 years and were residents of the city of Meerut. The high and low scorer on
different factors of 16 PF were compared in respect of their stress level in 6 areas namely, hospital factors,
disease factors, financial factors, familial factors, psychological factors. Result indicates that out of 16
personality factors 7 factors A, B, E, F, H, O and Q4 were found to be significant in contributing to stress level
of the respondents. However a majority of personality factors like C,G,I,L,M,N,Q1, Q2 and Q3 were found to be
insignificant in corroborating the stress level of the subject.

THE LAW THAT RIPPED AMERICA IN TWO
One hundred fifty years ago, the Kansas-Nebraska Act set the stage for America's civil
war
Abolitionist John Brown--failed businessman, sometime farmer and fulltime agent, he believed, of
a God more disposed to retribution than mercy--rode into the Pottawatomie Valley in the new
territory of Kansas on May 24, 1856, intent on imposing "a restraining fear" on his proslavery
neighbors. With him were seven men, including four of his sons. An hour before midnight, Brown
came to the cabin of a Tennessee emigrant named James Doyle, took him prisoner despite the
pleadings of Doyle's desperate wife, and shot him dead. After butchering Doyle and two of his
sons with broadswords, the party moved on to kill two other men, leaving one with his skull
crushed, a hand severed and his body in Pottawatomie Creek.
In a sense, the five proslavery settlers were casualties not merely of Brown's bloody-mindedness
but also of a law described by historians William and Bruce Catton as possibly "the most fateful
single piece of legislation in American history." Ironically, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, passed by
Congress 150 years ago this month (100 years to the week before the landmark Supreme Court
decision--Brown v. Board of Education--barring school segregation), was meant to quiet the
furious national argument over slavery by letting the new Western territories decide whether to
accept the practice, without the intrusion of the federal government. Yet by repealing the Missouri
Compromise of 1820, which had outlawed slavery everywhere in the Louisiana Purchase north of
Missouri's southern border (except for Missouri itself), the new law inflamed the emotions it was
intended to calm and wrenched the country apart.
As a result of the legislation's passage, resentments became bloody hostilities, the Democratic
Party lay shattered, a new Republican Party was created and an Illinois lawyer named Abraham
Lincoln embarked on the road to the presidency. Had the law made civil war unavoidable? "I'd
put it this way," says historian George B. Forgie of the University of Texas. "Whatever the
chances of avoiding disunion before Kansas-Nebraska, they fell dramatically as a result of it."

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

How Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and
post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) contribute to learning
disability?
Andre C. Justice

PSY 492
Introduction
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (also
Hyperkinetic Disorder in the UK) is a complex mental health
condition that is associated with hyperactivity, impulsivity, and
inattention and is diagnosed in childhood, but can persist into
adolescence through to adulthood. On the other hand, Post-
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition
that is triggered by horror or terror through experience or
witness of a traumatic event. It is usually synonymous with
flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, coupled with
unmanageable thoughts about the same incident.
Mental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and
2. their effects on learning have been subjects of discussion over
the periods. The underlying mechanisms of how they add to
learning disabilities are one question that has brought about
mixed reactions among the mental health professionals. Further
questions as to whether they are neurological or psychological
disorders have also been raised (Mason-Allgood, 2005).
However, the answers are still debatable.
Background of the study
Education remains one of the greatest anchors of success in the
world. It provides the keys to career opportunities to school
going children as well as enlightening the generations. A vast
majority of successful people owe it to education. Parents are
therefore obliged to ensure that their children get the from the
education sector in the best environment possible.
Our societies are prone to preventable disasters that frequently
occur. The calamities range from parental conflicts, robbery,
fatal road accidents, the demise of loved ones to national
disasters such as terrorism and civil wars. These disasters have
far-reaching effects on children, going beyond the physical into
their mental orientation (Smith, 2010). Some of the children end
up in trauma and stress by such events. Many of the bottlenecks
that we have in our schools are evidence of ADHD (Tiah, 2013).
The stress and trauma are substantially reflected in the manner
of the decline in the children’s class performance, being linked
closely to these disasters. For instance, a study revealed a
young child with difficulties going to sleep, experienced a
decline in concentration both at home and school. The study
further showed that each time he hears a siren he raises the
window shouting “Cops are coming! Cops are coming”
(Thomas, 1996 p. 311). This steps up the need to put more
emphasis on neurological and psychological examination.
Conceptual/Theoretical Framework
3. There are very many diagnoses which contain many variables
which impact behavior and particularly the attention of a child.
The Association of Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD)
recently, implemented a theoretical framework that significantly
reviews its guidance for accommodating persons with disability
in the higher learning set up (Brock, 2012). This is as a result of
increased poor performance and dropout cases, which is further
attributed to institutional issues which at times influence the
cognitive ability and attention. However, previous research has
shown that lack of interest and commitment is a primary motive
for children dropping out of school. The research found out that
the class is very boring and offers little or no motivation to the
children to work hard (Luft, 2015). For instance, one of the
participants difficult issues examined previously in the study
shows a lack of preparedness. On the other hand, similar
behavioral strategies apply when a complex issue is more
related to task performance.
Literature Review.
Below are the articles revised to help show the relationship that
exists between learning ability and ADHD or PTSD and further
reveal the gaps that there exist in the study. The absence of
focus on the forethought reflection phases of SRL training is an
apparent gap in this literature. Another gap in teaching reading
is the brain development in children: for example, countries like
Finland, which performs exemplary well in international tests,
including a test on reading, don’t begin teaching reading, except
when the children are seven years of age, when their cognitive
abilities are more advanced. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
Act of 2001through its reading first provision tend to lay
emphasis on reading instruction in American schools. Thus,
bridging the gap in test performance between ethnic minorities
and mainstream “white” Americans. Subsequently, the NRP did
not investigate research that mainly addressed the bottlenecks
4. encountered by the ethnic minority students. A good example is
English language learners and students speaking substandard
dialects of English (Reyhren, 2008)
Problem statement.
In the recent past, there has been an alarming rise in a bad
performance of children as depicted by their declining grades,
though being sufficiently taught at school. This has been
majorly a course of worry among children, especially, those
whose parents engage in frequent conflicts, or those who have
lost their loved ones in the recent past and those who have
experienced a traumatic event such as civil unrest or robbery
with violence. This has triggered the need to research on the
effects of mental disorder on the learning capability of children.
The research findings will adversely contribute to the
development of a recovery program to the victims to ensure that
exemplary performance among children is restored. The
findings may also help in providing a framework to mitigate
these disasters in future.
On the other hand, children who suffer from ADHD have poor
social skills while at school. There has been slow social
development among children with Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity, which in turn may affect their relationship with
their teachers, hence poor performance. ADHD can also be
considered a possible cause of learning disability among
children.
Sample and location
This study targets a middle size population of approximately
500 children, part of whom have suffered Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Post-traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) or are normal. The three groups shall be
subject to class teaching for one year then after which they shall
5. be evaluated using a standardized test.
Research questions
Below are the research questions which the study will try to
answer through its findings. The questions will also act as
guidelines to the research project.
1. To what extent do mental disorders such as Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) affect learning among school going,
children?
2. How does such school going children behave when
learning, especially, in a school setting?
Hypothesis/variable
H0: There is no significant difference in school performance
between children who are suffering from mental disorders and
those who are normal.
H1: Children suffering from mental disorders perform
significantly worse than the healthy ones.
Methodology and Design
The method used in these recearchs is to study three groups of
children (Normal children, children suffering from ADHD and
children suffering from PTSD) to teaching for one year. The
children are then supposed to be subjected to sets of
standardized tests. The results are then keyed in the table
below.

Purpose of the statement.
The goal of this study is to determine the extent to which
mental disorders affect children’s performances in the
7. examination and consequently the overall academic excellence
in the society. It aims at exploring how ADHD and PTSD
contribute to a decline in performance of children in school.
This is done through a controlled study of the behavior of
affected children and normal ones in school.
Data Collection method.
The study will use largely depend on primary data collected
through a controlled study of the performance and behavior of
about 500 children. The children to be employed in this study
are either with a background of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
or are normal. They are to be subjected to a controlled standard
learning and examination to evaluate their performance within a
year. However, the study will also use some secondary sources
of data to assess other people’s work and identify the gaps.
Data analysis.
Data analysis is the process of analyzing the information and
evaluating the relevant information that can be instrumental in
aiding better decision making (Sivia and Skilling, 2006). The
data collected will be subjected to a series of statistical tests.
These data will be analyzed through computation and
assessment of various measures from examination results. These
actions include measure of central tendency, dispersion and
other statistical measures such as mean and modal, using
statistical software.
The results of the analysis can then be used to make a
conclusion on the hypotheses to establish the truth concerning
them. The results can be used to confirm or reject if there exist
any significant difference in school performance between
children suffering from ADHD and PTSD, and mentally well
children.
