For this discussion, we will be expanding on the case study of the fictional child you discussed in Unit 2. Your fictional child should now be an adolescent. We will use the child that you created to reply to the questions/statements below. You may need to use reputable sources outside of the textbook to provide some of the required information.

Please respond to the following:

• How has the child's physical development been impacted throughout their life by their chromosomal or gene-linked disorder?
• How has the child's motor and perceptual development been impacted throughout their life by their chromosomal or gene-linked disorder?
• Explain how the negative influence(s) on the child would impact their brain development according to the neuroconstructivist view. Include information such as whether or not the impact is permanent or reversible.

THIS IS THE CASE STUDY OF THE FICTIONAL CHILD. Samantha is 5 years old, and she has Down syndrome. She lives with her parents in a neighborhood for people in the lower middle class. Samantha's family's lower socioeconomic status is an important part of her environment because it can affect how they can get help and resources for caring for a child with special needs.
