About the research topic:
I have chosen to undertake a research study on the topic ‘Therapeutic assistance for children with special needs’. The basic purpose for the study is to recognise and establish the various therapeutic techniques which are most effective in treating children with special needs.
In that I also aim to draw out the best possible strategies to handle such cases, given the critical nature of the patients being treated.
How to go about it:
The focus of the study will majorly be on 3 mental disorders in children, namely- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the Down syndrome and the Schizotypal Personality disorder.
- I will collect sample case details for each of the above mentioned disorders and present a detailed study of the cases.
- The study of the cases will help me analyse all the aspects of each of the case. The study aspects will include therapeutic treatments are focus, but will also include date on medical drugs and other methods of treatment.
- As a result of the study I am to chalk out the most effective therapeutic treatment of the disorders.
