Brandon: When Brandon was nine years old, his mother was killed in an automobile accident. His father recognized that he would not be able to care for Brandon or his three younger siblings and reluctantly put them under the care of the Department of Family and Protective Services. There were no foster homes available to take all four children, and they were split up between families. Brandon's emotional state became quite fragile following the separations from his family. He was angry, depressed and began acting out both at school and in the foster home, at which time he was placed in a group home. During this time, Brandon was bullied and beaten by older boys in the home. Two months ago, Brandon was moved to the home where he now resides. His foster family reports he is quiet at home, compliant with their requests, but generally exhibits little interest in family activities or school, though he seems to be slowly warming up to the family. He doesn't talk about his past three years or his siblings or parents. The family has not seen evidence of anger but do believe he is depressed.

• Identify student and the issue he or she is facing.
• Identify the developmental impact of each issue. You will need to include the research that is directly related to the issues and aligned to the developmental goals for the students. For example, you might include a statement such as "According to Dr. I. M. Expert, cyber-bullying is detrimental to a student's development because it makes students feel unsafe."
• Research and provide resources that are directly related to the issue and are aligned to the developmental goals for students. These are resources a parent or teacher could use to learn more about the issue and how to address the impact of the issue. These are resources that may be available in your community, such as food banks, language lessons for parents, etc. You may also choose to include resources that are available from federal, state, and local governments. These are NOT the resources used in your research.
• You will suggest supports teachers can use in the classroom to mitigate the impacts of the issue.
