Cognitive Development and Positive Behavior Supports

create a visual (e.g., Venn diagram, poster, or chart) with the following:

• First, identify which disability you have chosen for the focus of this course (intellectual disability) is the one I've chosen. Next, using information found in your text (Chapters 2 and 3)

 Describe the early childhood characteristics of this disability (generally ages three to five).

• Describe the school-aged characteristics of this disability (generally ages five through eighteen).
• Describe the manifestations in behavioral social skills in the learning environment.
• Next, compare these traits with the characteristics of at least two other disabilities.
• Finally, after reviewing the components of PBS, describe how applications of behavioral science, multicomponent interventions, lifestyle outcomes, and systems change apply to the characteristics of the disability you have chosen.
