Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Case Study of Callin Introduction Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which is a neurological disorder characterized by the presence of persistent communication and social issues, starts in early childhood. The term persistent means that it keeps on growing throughout an individual’s lifetime. It has more significant impacts on children, such that it reduces their social and cognitive skills. However, it doesn’t affect their motor skills. Children must have symptoms of ASD before diagnosis. The severity of ASD varies from one individual to the other, despite showing similar communication impairments. Children with suffering from ASD experience some difficulties when interacting with their fellow children, parents, teachers, and other people that are very close to them. Still, on the interaction issues, a child with ASD cannot be able to process facial expressions and other non-verbal cues; for instance, typical infants smile when someone smiles at them. On the contrary, infants with ASD lack that aspect of responsiveness due to the failure of identifying and processing various forms of non-verbal communication. Also, the development of their conversational skills may take…

Case Study Review/ Question Zero tolerance policy refers to the set of rules that institutions and organizations impose on either students/learners or members of staff. Upon the violation, the administration is mandated to issue severe punitive measures such as suspension or expulsion in the case of learning institutions (Allen & Sawhney, 2015). The main issue that people, especially parents, have against the zero-tolerance policy is that the repercussions apply regardless of the circumstances. From the case study, Mathew sikes got into a fight with a fellow student who had posted insulting comments about him on the internet, and both of them were expelled. The circumstance that got spikes into the fight was purely self-defence. When he confronted the boy that had insulted him on the internet, the boy threw him to the ground, and he hit him back in self-defence. The school administration invoked the zero-tolerance policy and expelled both of the boys without even trying any of the alternative behavioural or character support mechanisms. There is no conclusive research that shows that the zero-tolerance policy has positive effects on…

Case Study Analysis of the Lego Group Introduction Background and History The LEGO Group, or LEGO, is a toy-manufacturing organization that has its headquarters in Billund, Denmark. It was created as a family organization in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christian and is now a dominant competitor within the global toy industry with an addition of strategic entertainment products (Mohanty, 2018). Initially, Lego started as a manufacturer of ironing boards, toys, stepladders, and stools. By 1949, LEGO had begun manufacturing the early version of the LEGO plastics, which became highly popular (Mohanty, 2018). This was a strategic step as plastic was a new material that had just been introduced to the market. According to Lauwert (2008), the brand has gained a wide market across the world due to the high differentiation of the market. The sustenance of its basic bricks with new figures and features has resulted in the diversification of play opportunities for children, which is in congruence with its mission of inspiring and developing “the builders of tomorrow” (Lego Group, 2018; Nelson and Matles, 2017). Recently, however, LEGO has…

Maria Case Study An additional assessment I would do is to ask about her productivity in the last few months after she started realizing the increase in weight (Gabehart, 2003). I would also ask her if she has experienced frequent infections and diseases. Some of the health concerns for Maria is the long hours she takes in class weekly, in addition to 12 hours of labs and clinical she also essentially maintains the house like cooking shopping cleaning and driving the children to school. A risk factor is that she only sleeps for five hours, which does not give her enough rest after all the day’s work. From the assessment, she drinks coffee and diet cola to keep her awake and going; this means she is straining her body. She does not give her body rest to relax and de-stress and even says she has no time for such. Maria has to increase her time for sleep because she is working a lot in the day and gets insufficient rest. She should create time to relax her body and de-stress.…

Human Needs Theory Case Study Reflective Journal             Human needs theories are necessary for practical applications in the healthcare setting. Human needs theory focuses on the patient and their environs to provide quality care based on the needs of the patient. Nurses widely apply Neuman’s model and Orem’s theory as they provide care to their patients. The case study has been vital in illustrating how the human needs theory can effectively be implemented in nursing. With Mr. Duran as the patient who needs care, the case study guides on how Neuman’s model, as well as Orem’s theory, can be implemented in giving care to the elderly population with chronic illnesses like diabetes. Mr. Duran also experiences a stressful life due to the recent loss of his daughter, and this needs to be managed effectively to avoid escalating sugar levels in his body. With that being said, nurses are required to provide holistic care based on the human needs theory to provide adequate care and improve the patient’s outcomes. The interactive case study is useful in educating nurses on how to…

The Invisible Sponsor Case Study The successful completion of a project ideally reflects the sponsors’ efforts. Project sponsors are responsible for the fate of projects. They are responsible for setting the objectives of the project as well as making all decisions that re pertinent to the project (Gemünden, 2014). In other words, the sponsor is responsible for the recruitment of personnel, setting rules, establishing contacts with the clients as well as monitoring the implementation process. In the case study, AI Zink was reluctant in taking up the responsibilities of a project sponsor since he was often reluctant in making decisions. More so, he was worried that the project’s failure could significantly affect his career. In some circumstances, executives are forced to act as the project sponsors. However, this depends on whether the executive wishes to be the sponsor of the project to the extent that they are willing to take the responsibilities of the sponsor (Kerzner, 2017). In essence, executives are usually given a choice to make independent decisions. In the scenario, the president of Moreland Company assigned AI Zink…
