Research that benefits Children and families

The positive example of the effects of research on children that I would like to share is through research, one of my family members was able to find out that her1 year old son is autistic.  My family member noticed that her child was not developing as a normal 1 year old child. My cousin began to do research and realize that her child had all of the symptoms of an autistic child; she took my little cousin to the doctor and it was confirmed.  Research on children is a great way to support their well-being; because of research my cousin was aware that her child had a developmental delay.

The topic that I chose for simulation is cognitive development. The reason that I chose cognitive development is because it is an important part of a child's development; it is the child's ability to learn and solve problems.  A two year old may learn to explore the environment with his hands and eyes. The simulation chart has helped me to sort and organize information.
