2.9 - 3.2 Behaviour problems that should be referred to others There will be times when children might not show positive behaviour. There could be many reasons for any type of inappropriate behaviour shown. Sometimes children’s behaviour could show some signs that they need some extra support. It needs to be recognised when children need to be referred to another colleague or a professional. However a practitioner needs to encourage positive behaviour and manage children’s common behaviour.
Some children may become withdrawn. A child with excellent speech, language and communication skills is likely to form strong attachments and friendships and therefore be more confident. Outcome 1.3 A child with speech, language and communication difficulties are more likely to be slightly behind in some other areas of development, such as personal, social and emotional, due to being unable to maintain friendships. However some areas they may be
092 Support young people to move towards independence and manage their lives 1.1 Explain the reasons why some young people may find it difficult to move to independence. Some young people may struggle to move to independence due to a multitude of different factors. A young person with attachment difficulties and a history of abusive or troubled relationships may not be equipped with the emotional resilience and external support to face independence without some level of difficulty. It is imperative for young people to feel supported and encouraged and an absence of this may cause a young person to revert to child like behaviours to achieve these basic needs. If a young person has physical of learning disabilities this would also effect their ability to move towards independence as they may require a more intensive amount of support from a care giver for a longer period of time than a young person without any disabilities.
The patient will receive support to request assistance to help cope with their problem. Therapy should be customized to the patients needs (Treatments for PTSD). All victims deal with their trauma in a different way than others. Some treatments can be effective on some patients but useless in others. There are a few psychotherapies to PTSD such as cognitive, exposure, and eye movement desensitization reprocess.
Unit 4222-258 Introductory awareness of sensory loss (SSMU 2.1) Learning Outcome 1 2) identify steps that can be taken to overcome factors that have a negative impact on the individuals with sensory loss Sensory loss can have a negative impact on communication, information, layout, routines and mobility for the individual. Support workers must ensure that the people they support have regular access to sight and hearing tests, as a cataract operation, if needed, could restore some sight and hearing aids if required can help overcome hearing problems. Both of these steps could help negate the isolating effect of sensory loss. When communicating with someone who has sight loss, you should: * always say who you are * always say what you are going to do and be specific * always talk directly to the person and use their name * always stand in a place where you can be seen, if necessary, touch for attention * always take the time to answer questions * always tell the person you are leaving them, do not just walk away. In my place of work we have a service user with learning difficulties and some sight loss, who can react badly to unannounced actions by support workers.
But the majority of the times the cause of speech, language and communication problems are unidentifiable. Early identification of speech, language and communication delays or disorders means the child can sooner receive the right treatment and support to hopefully correct the problem. Greatly increasing the chances of improving their skills and helping to get their development back on track as quickly as possible. Late recognition of speech, language and communication delays can lead to problems with understanding or a child being able to express their own feelings, leaving them feeling angry or frustrated and causing them to act out and maybe develop behaviour problems. It can also affect their confidence and self-esteem causing problems building relationships with peers and becoming delays, particularly in literacy, having problems with sounds and letters leading to delays in reading and spelling.
Ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds when we asses a child we must take account of their ethnic, cultural and linguistic back ground as these can play important roles in how the children acts and the understanding of the words being used. Disability or specific requirements need to be taken in account when carrying out any assessment /observation or a child can be underestimated and the observation will be unreliable. Reliability of information no one can get an accurate picture of development if the information is not accurate this can harm the child’s development and the underestimating of their potential. With observation we must understand the limitations of each type of observation method. Avoiding bias when observing children we must remain completely objective also having 2 people observing the child at the same time can produce a more accurate account.

If these factors (with the exception of special needs) are not included in the children’s or young person’s environment there may be a negative impact on their individual rate of development and so, the inclusion or exclusion of these factors can influence the rate at which a child develops and acquires skills e.g. lack of social interaction could inhibit (slow the rate of) a child’s communication development opportunities and so the child would be less likely to be at the same stage or milestone as its peers. In conclusion, children’s and young person’s development does follow a sequential pattern however each
Breaking confidentiality can result in police involvement and court proceedings. Active support should be provided to the child; children need someone who can provide necessary support and are proactive in a practical way. A person should try their upmost to increase the child’s self confidence and raise their self esteem so that they are resilient and empowered. Children who know they are wanted and loved and who are used to making decisions are more likely to decline unwanted advances and therefore less likely to be drawn into exploitative situations. Children should be given the correct information according to their ages, needs and abilities.
