Pathfinder Homework


   I like the Health & Diseases pathfinder.

3 Things I Discovered
-About 120,000 babies (1 in 33) in the United States are born each year with birth defects.
-Birth defects are the leading cause of death in the first year of life.
-Each year, up to 40,000 babies are born with some degree of alcohol-related damage.

2 Things I Found Interesting
-Twelve-month-old babies who don't respond to their own names may be at risk for autism or related
disorders.
-PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed life-threatening
 events such as natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist incidents, war, or violent personal assaults like rape
