Some families may move house a few times throughout live. This can affect the child as they have to make new friendship and get use to a new area they have moved too. Children and young people can not do anything to their transition and can be daunting like: first day that school, first exam, first sexual experience, most of these are navigated. The experience they gain can help them learn to deal with the challenges of life ahead. The range of transitions faced by children and young people includes: Moving schools or class Puberty Bereavement Parents splitting up Illness (Parents or siblings) Changing friend Groups:
Running head: Functional Behavior Assessment Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Support Plan Julius Carter SPE-522 Grand Canyon University Instructor: Kathleen Hubbard April 5, 2012 Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Support Plan There are many students who have different types of disabilities, some of those students display aggressive behaviors, and some don’t. Oftentimes students that have disabilities have behaviors, and in having those behaviors many people consider them to be inappropriate behavior to display in a public setting. The actions that the students displays are deviant actions can result in a student needing special education services. The label that is given to those students who display this type of behavior would be called emotional disturbed. According to the IDEA this is one of the Special Education categories of listed disabilities.
How we manage transition in our settings Children can go through many transitions in their lives. Practitioners and key workers to our children will support both parent and child in these transitions. Children can face many types of transitions: -Moving between setting and carers. - Moving through the setting - Moving to School - Birth of a sibling - Moving home - Family breakdown Transitions can be managed by ‘Containing the loss’. If we are aware of a transition that is going to happen in a child’s life we could manage the transition by talking to the child, asking them how they feel talking about it with them.
Family Factors The family is where students are exposed to the first behavior influences (GCU, 2010). Some family factors that can contribute to EBD is domestic violence, poverty and low-income, and loss of a parent at an early age. Students who experience violence or any forms of abuse
Trauma Informed Care in Schools A system that would benefit greatly from the Trauma Informed Care approach is a school system. My reasoning for this is that when children are experiencing trauma whether it be from the past or a current situation, often times they struggle to find ways to cope positively with these negative feelings. And because they have trouble finding a positive outlet they tend to act out, whether that be involving themselves in harmful activities, or being violent towards themselves or others. It is important for staff members in a school setting to recognize some of the symptoms of someone that is going through trauma. If a student is acting out in class, can the adult assume the child is just acting out?
Assignment 331 Understand Child and Young Person Development Induction Pack for New Staff (School Policy) Assessment Methods It is school policy to use the following assessment methods to monitor a child/young person’s development in the classroom: • Marking and feedback. • Class or revision tests A child or young person’s development does not always follow the expected pattern due to disability. This may be physical and prevent growth. There may be emotional issues being suffered and this could be due to various occurrences such as divorce, bereavement or health issues within the family. Environmental issues could also have an effect because of the environment in which a child or young person lives.
Fights and abuse that occur during the marriage can effect children, just like the ending separation can (Woodward, Fergusson, & Belsky, 2000). The steps that parents take, throughout the process of a divorce can change how the children are effected by the break up. However, even in a story book divorce, parental separation will probably have adverse effects on the children (Woodward, Fergusson, & Belsky, 2000). Studies show that children who come from divorced families are less affectionate and less positive (Clarke-Stewart & Brentano, 2006). Some of the adverse effects on children going through a divorce may involve behavioral problems, rebellion, anger, hurt feelings, abandonment fears, poor grades and stress.
Analyse the factors that effect emotional and mental health of children and young people [20] The enhancement of positive early experiences as well as prevention methods and early intervention during childhood are critical for children growing up for their mental and emotional health but there are many factors effecting mental and emotional health in children. One of these factors is the socio-economic factors; children can be deprived of resources that would give them deprivation in experience, intellectual opportunity and meaningful human relationships beyond human survival that would contribute to emotional problems in children. Poor housing, overcrowding in the home or high unemployment of parents can also contribute to mental health problems of children. Family life breaking down is another factor influencing the emotional and mental health issues for a child. Parents divorcing can be very distressing for children and can make them feel angry, sad, powerless and abandoned.
The infant and caregiver form an attachment that serves a purpose of getting the infant safe and assuring the babies survival. Both bring a set of behaviors that will change through the interaction. The theory also explains that if there are any disruptions in relationships with primary caregivers in early life, this will put children at risk for a variety of developmental, emotional, and social difficulties, including chronic instability related to loss and feelings of abandonment by their parents (Broderick). They have found through these disruptions, it will increase children’s hostile interactions and socially avoidant behavior. The primary behavioral problems are hyperactivity, aggressiveness, and the need of attention (Lubit).
