How to monitor children and young people's development and interventions that should take place if this is not following the expected pattern. There are a number of ways to monitor children, observation methods are: check lists, are popular because they are easy to use they can focus on a particular aspect of child development. the observer either watches the child as they play or asks the child to do something like hop on one foot if the child can do it then the observer ticks the box. Events record, this is to look at when unwanted behaviour is used be a child, a prepared sheet of paper is drawn up before hand with the type of information that needs to be collected a column for each piece of information, when the behaviour is seen. time sampling, time sampling is done over a morning or afternoon it allows the observer to gain a better picture of the child.

It is important to know the difference between the sequence and the rate of development, as it helps to identify the child’s abilities and needs during these stages. The sequencing of development means it follows the same basic pattern, it usually happens in the same order, the child normally finishes one area of development before going on to the next one, for example a child would walk before they can run. These areas can vary in each child. The rate of development however, is when individuals reach certain milestones and at the speed of which they do so, and the rate is also about recognising and identifying and concerns in development and how you can adapt and assist learning and development. The sequence usually remains relatively the same in each child, but the rate at which many milestones are achieved can vary greatly in different

Unit CYP36 – Working together for the benefit of children and young people 1.1 Explain the importance of multi agency working and integrated working. When children are growing up they may require the use of a range of services, depending on their needs and support requirements. It is important for the services involved in each individual young person to work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and young people. This is multi agency working and it is an effective way of supporting not only young people but also their families.

It is the caregiver’s role to follow the child’s lead and help him develop interaction and communication skills. The Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship-based (DIR)Model is a framework that helps in comprehensive assessments and intervention programs tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other developmental challenges. The “D” part means a focus on whether the child needs more work on engagement or two-way communication, the “I” is focusing in on their individual ways of their biologically based ways of dealing with sensations like being over or under reactive, and the “R” is learning relationships that are tailored to their individual difficulties, and meet them at their developmental level. The objectives of Floortime are to build healthy foundations for social, emotional, and intellectual capacities rather than focusing on skills and isolated behaviors. This is achieved by challenging the child to do six things at once to the highest level the child can.
It is required for practitioners to make development comparisons between a child’s actual development stage and expected development rates. * Offer appropriate activities and experiences. This will be informed by observation and assessment of individual children. * Anticipate the next stage of a child’s development. This allows

As a child grows, they go through a series of developmental periods, each reflecting on their ability to learn and process information. An understating of these developmental milestones enables teaches to guiding and promoting learning as well as serve as a foundation for future learning. A child development theory is a collection of beliefs why children behave think and feel the way they do. Several prominent researchers have contributed to these theories.
