Question: Ongoing assignment, last portion. For Chrisbenjamin

The final project is the creation of a case application paper that includes an in-depth analysis of a selected case study. Students will choose an individual such as a known historical figure, a celebrity, a fictional character, or an individual known personally to the student (ALL identifying information must be eliminated from the paper in the case of the last option).The selected individual must be a child or adolescent with a cognitive disorder or a learning disability, and enough information must be available to include the following in the analysis:

• A description of the chosen disorder and a comparison between normal brain function and the brain function of a person with the disorder

• An evaluation of the relationship between psychological and physiological aspects of the disorder and the resulting negative effects on daily functioning

• An assessment of the impact of recent technological advancements on the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder

• Recommendations for appropriate treatment options and coping mechanisms for the selected case and other people with the disorder

• Preventative measures that may be employed for others who may be at risk for the disorder

The case application paper should be a 10-12-page Word document. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competencies highlighted by the course outcomes because the paper requires students to 1) analyze brain areas associated with a disorder and corresponding behavioral deficits, 2) review existing research and apply the literature to a topic in cognitive neuropsychology, and 3) assess diagnostic techniques, summarize effective treatments, and analyze possible outcomes of those treatments.
