The development of adaptive skills is highly interdependent with the development of skills in other domains. For example, if a child is slow to develop social interaction skills because of a speech-language delay, his or her social responsibility and overall adaptive skills will be greatly affected.
By Chris Woolston, M.S. CPR -- cardiopulmonary resuscitation -- is a potentially life-saving procedure that can restart a person's heartbeat and breathing. CPR is often used to revive victims of electric shock, near-drowning, and heart attack. According to the National Institutes of Health, quick CPR can triple a victim's chances for survival. The best way to learn the technique is to take a certified training class.
Standard CPR is performed with the person in supine position. Prone CPR or reverse CPR is CPR performed on a person lying on their chest, by turning the head to the side and compressing the back. Due to the head's being turned, the risk of vomiting and complications caused by aspiration pneumonia maybe reduced.
