Crucial Areas for Normal Functioning

 The crucial areas for Normal Functioning are divided into six ;

  > Vision                         > Hearing                                         > Movement
  > Communication         > Socio-Emotional Relationship    > Intelligence

Here a comparative study of between Able childrens and Special childrens. To rate the each the function the scale of measurement as follows;

By using the above scale clear out the  rate of each function separately. More specifically understand by the division of the scale by Cannot at all, Partial, Average and Excellent.  

From above comparison table,in Intelligence is odd from others because the Able and Special are exceptional Intelligent people.But in special children they need special support from their parents and surroundings to build-up their Intelligence. 

Functional Development in Childrens

Functional Development in Children s are very much substantial in their growing stage.Here a Comparative Study between Normal Children s and Autism Spectrum Children s in their Functional development.

By analysis the above graph we can figure out that,the growth in normal Development was starts at 18 months and ends up at 10 yrs to 12 yrs after that its stable in growth but in case of Autism Spectrum Children s the growth of their functionality is total uneven and also not at all stable in growth.Normally at age of 18 months to 24 months mainly growth in their Communication Skills, Cognitive Skills, Social Competence and Sensory Process.But here in Autism Children they effects in their Communication Skills, Motor Skills, Social Engagement and their Visual Ability.

Topic Research:Disability

After using the topic Center of Special Children,next level is to breakdown all the aspects on DISABILITY.The following mind mapping clear out their Issues ,Effects and their Rights.So the the Solution or Methodology to overcome through one SPACE which more Informative,Educational,Curative and help them out from Social Interactions.

After all detailed research,within my time-frame 6 months the topic is too heavy to handle for the Major Studio Project.So I am choosing user for my center for AUTISM children.Presently in India 10 million children  are reported official as Autistic Spectrum Disorder.Personally believe that apart from other Disability the Autism is really dynamic.
