Title: The Impact of Genetic Disorders on Development, Parents, and Children: Implications for Counseling and the Role of Spirituality in Neurobiology

Attached will be Instructions as well as resources provided already.
During the neonatal period, genes may become physically damaged or may spontaneously mutate. If damaged genes are passed on to the child, the result can be a genetic disorder. Alternatively, certain environmental facets, such as exposure to X-ray or even highly polluted air, may produce a malformation of genetic material. Due to advances in genetic screening, genetic difficulties increasingly can be forecast, anticipated and planned for before a child’s birth, enabling parents to take steps before the child is born to reduce the severity of certain conditions.  
Discuss a neurological disorder, how it affects development, how it impacts parents/children, and implications for counseling. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke website to identify your disorders. In addition, read Spirituality and the Aging Brain (Newberg, 2011) and then discuss research suggesting the effects of spiritual disciplines (prayer, meditation) on neurobiology.
