Research studies have found that the prevalence of CONDITION X varies according to type, age group, and gender, although the progression and course of CONDITION also differs significantly among individuals from the same demographic group (Brown, 2005; Smith & Howell, 2008). Y is the most common variant of CONDITION X affecting around 90% of all individuals with the disorder (Singh, 2005). CONDITION X is considered to be a rare disease affecting an estimated 40,000 Americans with two thirds of the total affected population thought to be female (Colenso & Schmitt, 2007). While CONDITION X can develop at any stage, the most common age of emergence is 46 (Wang et al., 2011). The onset of CONDITION X can be either sudden or gradual with the severity of symptoms peaking to an unknown intensity within months or increasing years after onset It is most prevalent among females over the age of 40, though no accurate prognosis can be made regarding the progression and severity of its symptoms (Faleolo et al., 2006).

Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia in New Zealand and head injury is the second most common cause. This heart-wrenching condition can also result from brain tumours or infections. It is very common and roughly 16,000 New Zealanders suffer from aphasia. Even though it is so common in New Zealand, not a lot of people know about it. Up until, a family member has acquired it (Aphasia Blog NZ, 2011). Some concepts of aphasia that will be explored in this report include, what Broca’s aphasia is, what causes Broca’s aphasia, the diagnosis, and associated disorders. As well as, its impact on stroke survivors’ language and lifestyle. I’ll conclude with an overview of treatment available for stroke victims.

A suitable ethical principle that applies to this scenario, is non-maleficence (Newman & Pollnitz, 2002). This principle would support the teacher’s decision not to contact the parents, since this may result in physical or emotional harm to the child in this case. However, a failure to involve the parents would deprive the child of the potential benefits of parental support (Anfara & Mertens, 2008). A potential way of resolving the conflict between these two ethical principles could be to develop a creative compromise (Kipnis, 1987). For instance, parents could be involved more positively in coming in to help with their child’s project, so as to develop a relationship of trust in which commitments to the learner, his aiga and to the broader profession and society (NZTC, 2004) can be realised. Since this ethical dilemma revolves around the unsatisfactory consequences of telling the truth, the theory of Utilitarianism can usefully inform decision-making. This involves an evaluation of the likely consequences for all parties (Kagan, 1998). This perspective provides further support for the creative solution of relationship-building, since the likely outcome is far more positive in relation to the interests of the child, which must be paramount in a teacher’s decision-making (NZTC, 2004).

• Accurate writing and referencing• Flow – each sentence builds on the one before• Research-based – includes 6 relevant citations• Uses ethical principles to address the dilemma• Acknowledges culture of the child and family
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
• May be trying to say too much in one paragraph• Does not explicitly apply an ethical framework• Might have acknowledged the child’s and family’s
perspectives and ethical principles more explicitly
