Child with Special Needs Observation Report 1 By April Arevalo Child 68 October 1, 2010 General Information Hawthorne Elementary School 705 West Hawthorne St Ontario, Ca 91762 Inclusive Early Childhood Education Program that is government funded for preschool age children (ages 3-5). This school (program) in an inclusive classroom that has placed students with disabilities in a normal classroom; “Majority of my disabled children have a hearing impairment, down’s syndrome, or a suspected form of autism, but these children are taught in a regular classroom, and have the capabilities to learn basic knowledge as any other “regular” child in this room!” as Mrs. Kamaski puts it. Mrs. Kamaski’s 3-year-old class, who is the head teacher Ms. Sutton, co teacher (seemed to mainly work with the disabled students) Tracie, aid Christopher Age 3 The child I chose to mainly observe is a 3-year-old boy named Christopher. Christopher has long dark shaggy hair, warm brown eyes, medium brown skin, and appeared to be of Hispanic decent. He had a red shirt with blue jeans, and Thomas the Train sneakers.
Tracking- every term the keyperson will tarck the child progress on a sheet. 1.4 Develop/implement and evaluate a plan to meet the development needs of a child or young person in your setting. 2.3 How do you implement an inclusive approach within your role and explain why it is important. In my setting we implement an inclusive approach within my personal role by continously observing children to ensure we are meeting the needs of each indiviual child. An example of this would be, there was a child that attended nursery and the child didnt like to take part in story time and looses focus, so we tried offering the child a book so the child could look
Piaget, Vygotsky, and Erikson offer different views of how a child’s mental abilities progress throughout their education. Piaget believed that children, at certain stages in their lives, regardless of intelligence, were not able to understand things in particular ways, simply because they were not old enough. He thought that development had to precede learning. Vygotsky, on the other hand, theorized that children acquire their level of intelligence by the culture they live in and that children learning different things helped them to develop intellectually. Erikson felt as if the environment played a major role in a child’s development and that every person goes through specific stages in their lives.
Many psychologists are perplexed when it comes to addressing when children understand certain concepts. For instance, they may ask questions regarding when a child has the ability to understand that objects still exist even when you cannot see them. Or at what age can a child distinguish that people have desires and dreams, but objects do not. Developmental psychologists, such as Jean Piaget, investigate not only what children think but how they think. Piaget developed four periods to distinguish different cognitive developments amongst children.
Piaget believed that before entering one of these stages a child would be unable to understand certain concepts that fit within each specific learning window. The basis of Piaget’s study was and is still used today to determine at what age we begin to teach children certain concepts. Piaget’s research is built primarily upon the idea of these distinctive stages of a child’s development as well as the concept of schema’s. Piaget defined schema’s as the “building block’s of knowledge.” He suggested that children categorize everything there exposed to into schema’s to try to understand them. If something doesn’t fit within an existing schema then the concept would be placed into it’s own separate schema.
DISCUSSION PAPER Maria Montessori: The Woman and The Method Many schools and teachers from around the world claim to follow the "Montessori Method," an 'auto-education' method conceptualized by Maria Montessori for young children, primarily from the ages of three to six (although, in more recent years, the Method been expanded in some places to accommodate both older children as well as adults). The Method focuses on "the pupil’s liberty as the basis for developing independence, his freedom to work when and for as long as he wants to on a given task and to progress at his own rate" (Kramer, 1976:295-6). Not only did Montessori alter the way schools viewed children’s learning, she also transformed the role of the teacher to that of an observing facilitator at the back of the classroom. She spent many years traveling around the world, including India, and received many eager students who wanted to learn the Montessori Method and establish their own schools. Her ideas were not influenced much by her interactions with many different people, nor by the major economic, political and societal changes of the first half of the 20th century.
As a parent, you know you weren’t an adult your whole life. You knew the feeling of being a carefree kid, then transitioning into a teens awkward world, like I am, with many questions and opinions. You then grew up and decided to raise children whether they be biological or adopted. Its not because of parents that their kids act a certain way, but because of their own decisions, which are not always the right ones. This proves
Each expectancy on every area of development may affect the other areas but not necessarily all. Through the case study “Kindergartener: Attaining of Physical Milestones in a Kindergarten Class of Kiddies Learning Center”, we’ll be able to know if a child- specifically a kindergarten student regardless of gender having below the average height and weight of a 5 years old girl which is 40 inches and 39.6 lbs- would execute the physical developmental milestones expected at his/her age inside the classroom with or without teacher’s instruction. The case study may show how effective the instruction is of a teacher with accordance to the attainment of his/her students’ developmental milestone and so did the peers affect the respondent.

All these institutions have a purpose. The purpose is served by individuals coming together becoming an organised group (Mike O’Donnell 1997) We as humans do not know how to behave when we are born. We learn this through a process of socialisation. Socialisation is a lifelong process in which we are always learning the most considerable part is in early childhood this is known as primary socialisation. An example of primary socialisation would be if a child grew up where prejudices were oblivious and apparent the child would then learn these prejudices as part of their norms believing their prejudices was acceptable.
