Children and young people in the care system are more vulnerable,often due to the lack of stability and attachment disorder this can affect their emotional ,social and academic development. 3.3 Explain how disability name affect development. Disability can affect the development of children and young people in a variety of different ways. Physical development may be affected by limited mobility if
This could result in premature birth and low birth weight which can then lead to a slower development rate. ● Disability A child in a wheelchair or with a serious physical impairment would find it hard to do many activities, particularly those that are physically demanding. Gross motor skills would be at a less developed rate than peers and fine motor skills may be affected if the child had little or no control over their limbs. Another aspect to consider is if the parent of a child has a disability, research evidence over the past ten years has suggested that when children take on a caregiving role in the family their educational, social and emotional experiences and health can often be seriously jeopardized. ● Sensory Impairment A child may
They can quickly fall behind from peers of the same age. They may find it difficult to interact and make friends with others who are more advanced. They may struggle with intellectual development memory and concentration. Delayed speech development A child who has limited or no speech could be a cause great concern. This would affect a child’s social and communication development as he/she would find it difficult to listen and speak to peers staff and carers this could also affect their behaviour possibly becoming frustrated and quite angry Whatever concern you have about a Childs development in any area, you should always share it with others.
A1- Meeting care needs for children can get a little challenging for practitioners as there are many areas which the practitioners need to take in to consideration. The first area which is challenging for practitioners to meet is the individual needs of all children within the setting. If there is a setting which has 1/2 children who need special facilities to help them develop, it can be managed easily, however, if there are many children with different needs such as dyslexia, children on wheel chairs, autistic and visually impaired. This could be difficult to meet as there are many barriers in the way. The main barrier is finance.
This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom. Dyslexia; is a difficulty in learning to read. Children suffering from this may become frustrated and problems could arise at home or in school, behavioural problems could also be seen, as well as the child becoming unenthusiastic or disliking school. If dyslexia is undetected then this will affect their development at school and could spoil any chance of achievement. Physical disabilities could include: Cerebral palsy; cerebral palsy is a condition which affects the movement, posture and co-ordination of a person.
Many children with disabilities usually need more structured and clearly amorphous surroundings, also behaviorally, than a general education classroom can offer. ADHD’s basic signs for children with an ADHD are lack of concentration, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causes child children to cope with day to day school challenges (Zentall, 1993). Children with ADHD have trouble sustaining attention to stay on task; this causes them to miss important details on their assignments, distraction during class activities and difficulty organizing assignments. According to doctor (Russell Barkley), he said that “children with ADD/ADHD have the tendency to fall behind about 30 percent, when it comes to their developmental performance.” In fact, the NIH
Ex: Lack of oxygen during birth will affect the development of the baby. Health problems - If a child suffers from health issues such as asthma, it may make them unable to take part in activities which will affect the over roll development. A child with Learning difficulties, physical disabilities or sensory deficiencies (blindness and deafness)will make it unable for them to socialize and work with other children which is a major part in helping their development, also they could be withdrawn and make them feel like they don’t belong. Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of external factors External factors also effect a child’s development Poverty and deprivation This directly affects the development of a child since poverty and deprivation means lack of proper accommodation and food. The exposure to unhealthy environment and food increase the chance of children coming in to contact with infectious diseases.
“Explain how child and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors include one from each of the following Health status / Disability / Sensory impairment / Learning difficulties” Health If a child is in poor health then this will have an impact on their development. For example, a child with uncontrolled asthma or severe allergies may not be able to run around and be as active as their peers or be able to eat the same foods as friends and they would be seen as different to their peers and maybe not as accepted as well as they should. The Asthma would affect their energy levels in the playground and perhaps not be able to play as long as their friends which may affect the social development and overall learning of the child. Disability A child in a wheelchair or with a serious physical impairment such as Cerebral Palsy would find it hard to do many activities both in the classroom and outside the classroom. You will find the Gross motor skills are less developed than other and fine motor skills maybe affected if the child has no control on this.
CT232 Understand how to support positive outcomes for children and young people Notes to support both posters: Describe the social, economic & cultural factors that will impact on the lives of children and young people: • Some learners experience barriers to learning as a result of their ethnicity, social group, race or culture. Children from poorer backgrounds and or specific ethnic and social groups are more likely to underachieve and this can sometimes lead to problems at school and exclusion. Major life events such as bereavement, family breakdown or abuse can cause emotional and behavioural problems. Many of these learners find it difficult to engage in learning, finding it difficult due to negative associations due to bullying or pressure to achieve. Explain the importance & impact of poverty on outcome and life chances for children and young people: • Low income: this can mean that children may not have the same advantages as their wealthier peers.
Amy McCay Unit 1 Understand child and young person development 2.1 There are many personal factors that influence a childs development. These are a few examples: Impaired hearing - If a child has impaired hearing then it can cause them to struggle to understand what is being said to them and can also cause their speech to develop slower. This means that they will not develop as quickly as the other children in certain areas such as 'communication and language' as their communication and language skills may not be as good as everyone else's. They may also not develop very well socially as they could loose a lot of self confidence due to realising they are being treated differently to everyone else so may not feel confident enough to form
