Please review the Case of Micah listed below and respond to the prompts provided using the proper APA format to support your statements.
Micah, a 4 1/2 yr old Hispanic male, lives with his mother and 3-year-old sister. Micah’s mother requested counseling services due to growing concerns surrounding his medical condition, cerebral palsy (CP). Services were sought to help provide emotional support to Micah in helping him understand his disability, as well as the “limitations CP, would present in his life.”
Systemic Influences
The family is generationally and currently from a lower socioeconomic status, which makes acquiring services for health care, therapy, and disability education a challenge. Micah has not been educated on his disability, which began to cause social and emotional difficulties for him. As such, it is important that Micah’s mother, medical team, therapist, and school work together to create an environment of consistent care and education.
Developmental Considerations
Early intervention services at the school diagnosed Micah with mild impairment of cognitive functioning. His preschool reported that although his early intervention assessments showed he tested below average range of intelligence, he understood and practiced new concepts well, and seemed able to assimilate information with visual examples and repetition.
Micah was born prematurely and had a low birth weight. He was diagnosed with CP shortly before his 1st birthday. He struggled with issues related to weak muscle tone and poor muscle control and coordination which impacted his ability to walk with fluidity and struggled to control his arm movements. The school also diagnosed him with mild speech impairment, and he received speech and language services at home and preschool.
Micah has typically been noted by his teachers as being attentive, and cooperative, getting along well with others, and having a good sense of humor. More recently, however, his teacher began to notice he experienced more “sad” or “down” moods in the past few months, and he refused to interact with the other kids at gaming and free play time. He cried more frequently and became less attentive during lessons. He would become frustrated easily. When speaking with the school nurse, he told her he found it difficult to play with others because “his legs didn’t work like theirs” and he did not understand why. He viewed his physical differences as “bad” and “wrong” and would make negative comments about himself. Other than CP, Micah seemed to be in good health.
Relational Considerations
Micah’s mother reported his CP symptoms seemed to impact him more negatively on emotional, social, and academic levels, and felt it was necessary to share more details with him regarding his condition. She had previously delayed informing him and had simply told him that his arms and legs were a bit weaker than other kids which caused him to need extra help sometimes. She did not want his diagnosis to make him feel different or scared.
Prior to preschool, Micah had limited interactions with other children besides 2 mornings a week in a small day-care setting run by a family friend. Recently Micah began asking more questions about his condition and seemed to be searching for understanding.

The introduction is at the beginning of the paper, which I already did. The six pages you need to do are to find six peer-reviewed articles, describe them, and answer the questions. Please do not include the introduction in those six pages. When you cite an article, make sure you start with the title of the article and the name of the author.   for example  according to the article name and author name… . Then, put it in your own words, answer a question, and so on. Finally, give a summary of the paper.

Instructions: Select a biopsychosocial issue/developmental challenge and one of the life course phases from infancy through older adulthood (i.e. friendship development in middle childhood, adolescent parenthood; body image in middle adulthood; sexuality in later life; elder abuse; grandparents raising grandchildren; coming out in young adulthood; balancing work and family in young or middle adulthood). Some topics may lend themselves to addressing more than one life course phase (i.e. intergenerational relationships within a specific population). DSM-5-TR diagnostic categories or symptoms may not be chosen as a topic. You are to research the topic in at least two ways:
1) Interview three people who have specialized knowledge in the area you have chosen, at least one of which has experienced or is experiencing the issue you are exploring. (For example, drawing on the topics above, include at least one child in middle childhood when focusing on friendship development in middle childhood or include at least one individual in middle adulthood when focusing on body image in middle adulthood. If your life course phase is infancy, toddlerhood, or early childhood, you could interview a caregiver instead.)  You may also interview human service providers with experience in your chosen topic area. In your paper, preconceptions you had on your topic prior to the interviews and whether they were confirmed should be discussed as well as any surprising information obtained.
2) Research the topic using the professional literature. You should include a minimum of 3 articles from professional journals or book chapters beyond the required reading. Peer reviewed e-journals found in the Touro College Libraries databasesare appropriate for this assignment but not Wikipedia or other internet sites. (You may also reference the required reading.)
In your paper, discuss 1) the characteristics of the life course phase and 2) the nature and impact of the biopsychosocial issue/developmental challenge. Relevant factors at multiple systems levels should be addressed (i.e. individual, family, organizational, and community factors, as well as political, economic, and ideological factors).

Describe what success in couples and family therapy entails and how this might differ from success in individual therapy. In your description, be sure to address specific characteristics you might observe in a successful therapy session or a successful therapy series.
• Compare your current definition of success in therapy with couples and families with your definition from
Week 1. Explain which elements of the course shifted, expanded, or reinforced your understanding.
• Given that couples and family therapy is often intentionally brief, describe how you would advise a couple or family who has achieved success to maintain and/or extend the progress they have made in therapy.
