This approach is also a very important part of the government framework of Every Child Matters which states that we should be working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for children in our care. The Early years foundation stage, states that different professionals working together will help to improve outcomes for children both in their learning and development. So by sharing records or observations of a child by a professional such as a speech or language therapist may contribute to further assessment. Inclusion is an important
The Effects of Healthy Family Systems and Childhood Development Danielle Whitebread HSCO 502- Liberty University Family systems are important in children’s growth and development for many reasons. Murray Bowen, John Bowlby and Erik Erickson’s theories of family systems, attachment and trust describe how family systems are important to a child’s physical, emotional, spiritual and social development. The family systems theory was originally introduced by Dr. Murray Bowen. Dr. Bowen’s theory was used more in the clinical setting as a therapy involving the entire family system. Bowen’s theory explained that instead of one being seen as an individual, they were a part of a larger group; a family system.
Building trust with parents or carers will result in them knowing that the nursery is a very good place for their child as it offers a great amount of help and support, which is especially important for new parents or carers. Other professionals It is also important to partner with other professionals as they will offer the support and services, where needed, to improve the overall development of the child. For example, a speech and language therapist may assist a child with communication difficulties. Another example would be a play therapist to diagnose, prevent or resolve a child with psychosocial challenges. Multi-disciplinary teams It is very important that everyone in a multi disciplinary team work in partnership.
With early intervention there are many services that parents can use relating to their child’s disabilities. Early intervention is for children from birth up until about kindergarten and it helps to prepare the family for the educational journey that they will face over the course of their life. There are not any weaknesses of early intervention. Early intervention is used to better the child and help build strengths where there are weaknesses. The strengths of early intervention are enhanced development, minimized developmental delays, and can decrease the need for special education in the future.
One example of a multi-agency is sure start, which is a government programme that aims to ensure every child has the best start in life. Multi-agencies provide benefits for children, young people and families because they receive support from other agencies specifically for the child or young person's needs. “The benefits of this include:- Early identification and intervention Easier or quicker access to services or expertise Improved achievement in education and better engagement in education Better support for parents Children, Young people and Families needs addressed more appropriately Better quality services Reduced need for more specialist services Identify who relevant partners would be in own work setting. Relevant partners in a childcare setting would be:- SENCO care co-ordinator – SENCO stands for 'Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator'. A senco is responsible for the day to day operation of the schools special educational needs policy.
Above, I stated why the topics should be addressed and how important it is for children to have organizations to help better themselves, by being healthy, social, a developing the skills that they should by having open play and encounter with parents, friends, teachers and families. Next, information was given on how important nurture can be for children. Children receive nurturing through social-emotional development and cognitive growth development. Then we went on to discuss the long-term goals, which I believe that they will excel to the highest extreme. Last, we discussed the effectiveness and showed evidence of how it will be effective.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) (DCFS 2008) states that high quality provision is a continuous process which: improves outcomes for children through high ambitions and effective practice; offers personalised learning, development and support; builds the base for future success and involves parents in children’s learning and development. It could be suggested that practitioners in early years settings hold on to the EYFS (DCFS 2008) and its outcomes for children therefore the quality of provision should follow. Recent research (Sylva et al. 2003) proposes that quality could be understood as a set of measurable characteristics. Stokes and Wilkinson (2007) demonstrate difficulty of measuring quality consequently it could be argued that it is complicated to measure the quality of early years provision.
It purports to explain quality of life as a critical part of early intervention for both children with ASD, and their families. As I plan to discuss, Occupational Therapists play a unique role in understanding the families’ energy level for accomplishing everyday tasks and supporting all caregivers to help the child adapt and cope with everyday life. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurological condition characterized by impairment of communicative, social, and behavioral competencies. Most children with an ASD experience limited functionality in daily routine, community involvement, and sociability. As this article explains, caring for a child with an ASD is often associated with high stress levels, often requiring mental health treatment.
EYMP 1 Task 2 3.1 As a trainee practitioner i need to show the knowledge and understanding of how partnership with parents is important to the success of each individual child in the setting. Promoting an effective bond between the parents and professionals, this provides a source of strength throughout their time in the setting. Consequently practitioners should be very aware that there leading role is very different in the Childs life, compared to their own parents, carers etc. Practitioners roll is to be able to show a more compassionate bond with the child. Leading on Carolyn Meggitt also believed that “Practitioners need to develop constant, warm and affectionate relationships with children, especially babies, but should not seek to
Basing on research of Brody & Benbow (1987) and Stanley (1985), Heward (1996) indicated: “Programs that allow gifted students to accelerate their academic program have been highly successful in terms of academic achievements, extracurricular activities and social and emotional adjustment” (p.482). Beside acceleration, curriculum compacting is also an effective method to engage talented children in learning activities. It aims at focusing on important content in required curriculum, removing superfluous information and substituting appropriate materials (Heward, 1996). According to studies of Renzulli, Smith and Reis (as cited in Haring & McCormick, 1974), curriculum compacting guarantees that the
