Therapeutic interventions for the management of social communication disorders among school-aged children
(2022-05) Adesokan, A. E.; Osisanya, A.
All over the world, social communication and interaction are fundamental aspects of everyday life. From infancy, humans are social beings, gazing at other people and turning towards voices, grasp a finger and even smiles. For social relationship to become possible there is a need to take into consideration the thoughts and feelings of another person. Essentially, it is the understanding that others' thought is different from one's thought that makes social interaction possible. However, some children experience difficulties with successful social communication and this inability or deficit is termed social communication disorder (SCD). This impaired social language use creates communication difficulties, thereby causing significant impact on academic, adaptive and psychosocial functioning. Additionally, children with SCD has been under identified over time due to its co-occurrence with other conditions which leads to wrong diagnosis, inappropriate therapeutic considerations and non-effective communication as well as poor interpersonal relationship. Thus, this paper, focuses on the causes, incidence, assessment, impact and therapeutic interventions of social communication disorder.
Protecting the rights of old people in Nigeria: towards a legal reform
(2015) Araromi, M. A.
There are certain rights that are fundamental and should be enjoyed by everybody regardless of gender, tribe, colour, creed and age. The society sees some people as vulnerable and as such will require its protection. A category of such vulnerable in the society is the old people that need special attention because of their weak nature and low production capacity. The nature of the old people has no doubt captured the attention of the international community who offers some legal protections to them by the provisions of various treaties and conventions. The aim of this article is to consider the legislation, if any, and policy development in the care of old people in Nigeria. It therefore germane to review what the law offers to protect this category of people in Nigeria in comparison with the standard required at the international scene.

A critical review of the regulatory framework for police accountability in the Nigeria’s justice system
(The Nigerian Association of Law Teachers, 2014) Araromi, M. A.; Oke, A.
The Police are recognised all over the world as one of the major instruments of enforcing law and order in society. By this function, the police are often empowered by the law to carry out this responsibility. The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is constitutionally recognised to carry out the functions of policing in Nigeria. Thus, the police are endowed by the Constitution and other recognised laws with powers of surveillance, arrest, seizure, interrogation, detention, bail and prosecution of offenders, among others These powers are further expanded by the discretions enjoyed by the police in law enforcement- which include when to arrest, who to arrest, where and whom to search, and how much force to be used in any particular case. In the exercise of these wide powers and discretions, there is a natural tendency that the police personnel may act contrary to the dictates, discretions and beyond the" powers conferred by the law. Hence, there are measures put in place to checkmate the excessive or misuse of police powers, authority and discretions. There are - basically two categories of police accountability measures or framework for controlling the use of the powers conferred on the police. These may be external to the police organisational framework, or may be internal mechanisms adopted by the police authority itself to regulate its functions, in order to ensure its accountability. It is the purpose of this work to review these two methods of police accountability and determine their effectiveness and therefore suggest the way forward.
Breach of human rights by nigerian police in the performance of its functions: need for a reform
(David Publishing Company, 2013-10) Araromi, M. A.; Oke, A.
Nigerian Police is charged with the responsibility of upholding the law and ensuring order is kept within the polity. It is however observed that the police in carrying out its functions constantly abuses the rights of the citizens which are considered as natural rights and very fundamental to every human existence. This study aims at examining the roles of the police in Nigeria and the various ways and the rights of citizens are being encroached upon by the said police. The legal standards prescribed for the operations of Nigerian police are measured against the international standards as a parameter in order to determine the weak points of the Nigerian standards. Suggestions are therefore made on how Nigerian police can be more humane in carrying out its functions.
