features include “the presence of a distinctive impairment in the nature and quality of social and communicative development (influenced by the specific biological and environmental circumstances of the individual)” (Zager, 2005). Since, Jon shows some of the possible PDD symptoms we should take the situation lightly and should not rule out its probability altogether because prevention is always better than cure. Rates PDD in the US According to a published review article of Fombonne (2009) in Pediatric research, the numbers of children affected by PDD in the US have risen. Epidemiologic surveys on PDD using a variety of methods were carried out by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with the help of researchers from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health. According to the report published the estimation of prevalence of PDD also known as Autistic spectrum disorders “1 in 88 U.S. children overall, and 1 in 54 boys” ( CDC REPORT, 2012). The study also suggests that across all the American states it had been observed that boys were five times more likely to develop PDD than girls. The researchers suggest a national median age of 4 years 6 months for PDD diagnosis. Coleen Boyle, director of U.S. CDC’s National Center on Birth defects and Developmental Disabilities said that most PDD affected children do not receive any diagnosis until they are four years old.

Shelly may not have been entirely incorrect when she said that Jon’s shyness may be PDD.

The fact that the term “developmental” has been used to describe the disorder family means that children are either born with it or are born with the capability of developing it later.Working with a child with PDD needs special attention and considerations on the part of the educator. “The education of children with autistic disorders was accepted as a public responsibility under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 “(Educating Children with Autism, 2001). Direct Instruction is one educational consideration when education a PDD affected child. It involves the principle of Applied behavior analysis. The child should be taught functional skills and the progress monitored where positive behavior is rewarded and reinforced.“For many autistic and PDD children, a stronger channel is the visual one. Therefore, pairing auditory stimuli with visual stimuli helps information be received and stored differently” (Siegel, 1996), therefore visual instruction is yet another educational consideration. Using technology like computers may seem unconventional but is in fact really useful because the content is much easier to understand than the words of an instructor as they provide visual instructions as well.
