A critical aspect of supporting young children and families is your understanding of the varied ways traumatic influences impact children’s identities and their development. What might surprise you is that the ways in which you view trauma, much like your other views, have also been shaped in various ways by societal bias. This week you were asked to review a sampling of articles focused on a variety of different categories of trauma. These articles were specifically selected to provide you with information on a range of traumatic influences while also providing you with another lens through which to view that particular trauma. As you engage in this week’s discussion be certain to focus on the varied ways trauma can influence children differently, the similarities and differences found amongst a range of traumatic influences, and any factors of resilience that were revealed in your readings.Keep in mind the prompts below:Aspects of this week’s readings that challenged your thinking with regard to trauma and other disruptive life events and the ways in which trauma impacts children’s identities and continued development.

The executive leadership team of your company has requested that you identify two (2) key performance indicators (KPIs) or financial metrics and use them to benchmark your company’s recent performance. The executive team wants a visual summary of the comparisons — a dashboard. The dashboard must include a summary explaining the purpose and interpretation of each KPI or metric selected.InstructionsDevelop a 2-item KPI dashboard or scorecard in Excel using The Kroger Co (KR), a large, U.S. based grocery store chain. Kroger operates in the Retail sector of the economy, specifically in the grocery store industry. To learn more about the retail sector and/or the grocery store industry, go to the Mergent Online database and select the Industry Analysis tab. There are options for Retail and Personal Care, Drug Grocery Stores for viewable summary reports.Next, in the Mergent Online database, search for Kroger (use the name Kroger or stock ticker KR). The company overview includes multiple sections such as financial and competitive information. Using the available information, identify two KPIs or metrics that are pertinent to Kroger and its sector or industry. Example: inventory turnover for the retail industry or average sales revenue per store in the grocery industry.Collect information to calculate the selected metrics for five (5) years on Kroger and one of its key competitors (use the Competitors section for Kroger in Mergent to select and link to a competitor). Save the downloaded information in an Excel file to create the dashboard.In the Excel file, create two (2) data visuals (e.g. chart, graph, or comparison table with visual cues) for the dashboard using the KPI or metric data collected. At least one visual must show a trend, that is, the performance and comparisons over time using the 5-years of data collected.In the Excel file, include a written summary that explains the items (4-8 sentences or bullet points for each KPI or metric selected). The summary must discuss why each is pertinent to the company and its sector or industry. The summary must also explain how to interpret each KPI or metric – that is, a general interpretation as well as the specific values identified for the company and its competitor.Submit the Excel file including the downloaded data, the two (2) data visuals created as a dashboard, and the written summary information.Resources

Week 4 Assignment – Project RecommendationsOverviewFor this assignment, you will create a response to the following memo from your Project Manager:MemoFrom: The PMTo: Members of the project teamAttached is the Gantt chart for the project.As you can see, we have a tight schedule. Please review it and comment on your area, as we know the coming project will be challenging. With everyone’s help, though, I’m sure we can pull this off with a minimum of scope creep. I look forward to hearing from you before the meeting on Tuesday.This project involves moving our current in-house system to a cloud solution. We are not sure yet if we’re going to partner with an outside company to manage the cloud services or if we’re going to just rent space on Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or other cloud services. I’ll expect a recommendation from each of you based on your area of expertise. Do your research and provide me the pros and cons of the option you are recommending. Be sure to share where you got that information, so I can take a look at your reasoning if I have questions. DO NOT just cut and paste what you find, but rather explain the pros and cons in your own words.Gantt Chart File [PDF]InstructionsRespond in amemo using the Word document template provided. There should be two parts to your response.Part 1The first part of your response is based on the research you complete determining whetherto go with a company to manage cloud services or to rent space with one of the well-established cloud services. Include the following:A list of the pros and cons to both options. You should have at least two pros and cons for each option.Your recommendation that is supported by your research.A list of the sources that informed your recommendation. Be sure that these sources are varied and from a variety of relevant perspectives. They should also be credible sources. For example, what Google claims their cloud service will do may not be the experience of a business using their service. In the same way, a small business may have a different experience with the same service a large business uses.Part 2The second part is the additions needed to the Gantt chart in your area of expertise. Consider what steps will need to occur in your area in order to make this project possible. Consider also the time it will take to complete each of the subtasks, keeping in mind the overall timeline of the project. Include the following:A list of subtasks that need to be added to your area of the Gantt chart. (For example, if you’re a networking specialist, you’ll need to decide what you’re going to do with the network to support the project. Are you going to hire an outside company to expand your network? Do you have the bandwidth you’ll need now that the system is going to be located in the cloud? How much time do you need to purchase equipment like an additional router or a better firewall?)A breakdown of any equipment that will be needed for each subtask and when it will need to be installed.Here are some questions to consider for each role as you write your response memo:If you’re the IT Project manager, you’ll need to get recommendations from others on the team and then make your recommendation to the PM. What are the main considerations? You’ll need to research and come up with some options.If you’re the data analyst, do your research and find out what this transition will look like to the users in the company and your company’s clients/customers.If you’re the cybersecurity expert, what concerns do you have, and which methods will you use to secure the network and the cloud solution? What does the partner service provide and what will we need to do/know in the company, and what training will be needed for users?If you’re a software designer, what interface will you need to create/adopt? How will the software you’re using now change if we relocate to the cloud?If you’re a data manager, how will the database platform change/adapt to the relocation? How will the data be packaged, secured, stored, transported, backed up, etc.?

What is the importance of family involvement in therapy, and what is the importance of each of these intervention approaches?

Intellectual disabilities are most often organic. However, many also have familial origins. Therapy for individuals with intellectual disabilities may include early intervention, behavioral, language, and social skills training, and always requires significant family involvement. What is the importance of family involvement in therapy, and what is the importance of each of these intervention approaches?

What effects might this have on functioning in school, relationships, work, and family?

Research has estimated that the risk of emotional and behavioral disturbances among children with intellectual disabilities is approximately three to five times greater than among typically developing children (Enfold, Ellis, Emerson, 2011). How might intellectual disabilities affect a child’s sense of self-worth and perception of competency as they enter adolescence and young adulthood? What effects might this have on functioning in school, relationships, work, and family?
