this could be a physical or learning disability. Children with learning disabilities may be unable to focus and concentrate for long periods of time. children with physical disabilities may have gross and fine motor and functional skill problems. They may also suffer from an impairment such as deafness or a visual impairment which would impact on their ability to learn and play. Disabilities may affect confidence and challenge social skills.
3.2 explain the reason why children and young people development may not follow the expected pattern ? There are many reasons why development may not follow the normal pattern.it is important to know the pattern of the order the child is meant to develop in so you can support the child and the family. Development can be Influenced by many different factors ,including health, disability environment and family background. Some of the few things that can have a a influence on the development of children and young people. Health Chronic conditions such as asthma can cause children to have time off school, infections like meningitis causes development delay.
Some of these disabilities are caused by the parent not taking full care of themselves and the baby. When a parent or doctor notices that something is not right or that the children may have a disability intervention is needed as early as possible. Early intervention makes a big difference in a child’s life. When a parent accepts the fact that their child has a disabilities it can open up their eyes to see that there are many options available to help assist and even overcome certain disabilities. With early intervention there are many services that parents can use relating to their child’s disabilities.
Recognising and Responding to concerns about Child Development Any concerns that staff may have about the development of children and young people should be reported. Recognising concern, allows staff /carers to intervene and help the child, and inform the parents of the concerns and possible solution for the problem. The quicker the issue is dealt with the better this is for the child’s development. Whereas if a problem is left unresolved or delayed, the more damaging this could be for the child’s development. Difficulty with reading and writing If a child is having problems with reading and writing this could cause concern.
Sometimes help will be needed to help support and meet an individual’s needs. This help can come for many different sources such as. * Speech therapists - Can assess and treat problems with speech. * Specialist teachers – For help with learning needs. * Translation and interpretation services - to assist some who does not speak English.
learning or physical. Learning disabilities which affect development could be: Autism; autism is a disability which affects how a person relates and communicates with other people and the world around them. Children with autism find it difficult to understand facial expressions or the tone of a voice. They can feel lonely and cut off from society as they avoid social interaction. This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom.
Meeting children’s needs can affect practitioners as they will need to plan according to the children’s age, stage and needs. If there is a child in the setting who is visually impaired then the practitioner should make enlarged copies of worksheets so the child can see it much easier. This could affect the practitioner as if there are not any resources, e.g. large pieces of paper available, than this could limit the practitioner and also the child as it will become a barrier for their education and development. Another barrier could be lack of staff.
092 Support young people to move towards independence and manage their lives 1.1 Explain the reasons why some young people may find it difficult to move to independence. Some young people may struggle to move to independence due to a multitude of different factors. A young person with attachment difficulties and a history of abusive or troubled relationships may not be equipped with the emotional resilience and external support to face independence without some level of difficulty. It is imperative for young people to feel supported and encouraged and an absence of this may cause a young person to revert to child like behaviours to achieve these basic needs. If a young person has physical of learning disabilities this would also effect their ability to move towards independence as they may require a more intensive amount of support from a care giver for a longer period of time than a young person without any disabilities.
However, a child or young person who has a disability may also have low self-esteem which can affect social, emotional and behavioural development. Their physical development may also be delayed. A new baby in the family can have both a positive and negative affect on a child or young person’s development. For example, a child or young person may not understand why they now have to share their parent’s attention. They may feel angry and isolated which can affect their social, emotional and behavioural development.
However in a situation like this practitioners need to recognise that when the child needs to be referred to others. Sometimes children’s behaviour could show some signs that they need some extra support. This means that a practitioner needs to recognise when children need to be referred to another colleague or a professional. However a practitioner needs to encourage positive behaviour and manage children’s common behaviour. Specific types of unwanted behaviour that should be referred to others: • When pupils are a danger to themselves and/or others • When you are dealing with a difficult situation on your own • If pupils are not carrying out your instructions and you are not in control of the situation • When you are not comfortable dealing with a pupil, for example they are behaving in a threatening manner or behaving unpredictably • When an incident is serious enough to warrant the involvement of a senior member of staff.
