Refugee Children

Paper Summary:

This paper is a research proposal for qualitative study of refugee children in relation to cognitive development/differences that can lead to the common refugee experience of malnutrition. The study consists of textual research and interviewing primary students. It looks at how many children sent to special education or otherwise as seen as in need of extra help may actually have deficiencies, or their affects, that can be medically treated.

From the Paper:

"Many articles refer to normal cognitive development according to a Western and, particularly, North American environment. However, in the central Canadian city of Toronto, elementary teachers often meet pupils of different cognitive development that may owe to a different culture in the home, language acquisition, and pre-migration upsets. Teachers need to realize that many elementary students are from war-affected families. As opposed to PTSD or other results of political violence, children are more apt to present the results of early malnutrition led by vitamin deficiencies as they can affect cognitive development."
