Task 3 Case Study – “I am Sam” In everyone’s lives Advocacy is important, but it is even more important should you have a disability. In this case study I will be expressing my opinion on where an advocate would of helped Sam and his daughter (Lucy) from the movie “I am Sam”. It is quiet chilling that Sam and Lucy did not get help in so many parts of this movie. It really shows you how people can slip through the system when professionals do not recognise intervention from the beginning could actually prevent so much hard ache for many families. Sam had a few people in his life during his journey of parenthood on his own.
OBSERVATION REPORT: In my recent observations I have made at “Small World” I have found a new love for administration, children, and childcare in general. Small World offers a variety of services with an exceptional staff! There were many occasions where I observed multiple teachers using a various range of teaching ethics- all of course were handled in the appropriate manner. My observations of the following will be discussed through the caregivers, health & safety, environment/activities, and guidance/discipline along with the facility operations of Small World Pre School here at 809 Gentry Drive Hot Springs, Arkansas. First I would like to say how accessible and convenient Small World makes to its parents and students.
Some carers may not feel they can approach the person because the assume they are violent. If a person gets violent it is due to frustration and not being able to express themselves. It helps if you know how to approach the person so they dont get adjitated. You should always try to form positive relationships with clients even though they may not remember you a short time later. Some people just think a person dementia does not need to be spoken to bacause they may not be able to understand anyway.
It is a standardised method used by practitioners to assess children's additional needs and decide how these should be met. It is a method used to identify the strengths and needs of a child and to put a plan into place a plan to approach any unmet needs. A Common Assessment Framework form is regularly filled in by one of the professionals working with the child. They will then arrange a team meeting to discuss the contents of the form with all the professionals working with the child and their family. The whole process is voluntary and both child and family are involved with every single stage of the process.
There is no training program for them that state any reasons why the culture of the company relies on customer satisfaction. So in this case some employees may feel resentment for having to put so much effort into making their customer happy. For instance, some Nordstrom employees may feel that it is too difficult to meet the needs of some of their customers. Employees are expected to go out of their way, even to work long hours or beyond their hours to meet their customers’ needs, but they do not get compensated for any overtime. The environment for this employee could be very stressful and cause them to not want to put much effort into sales.
Parenting courses available include: Freedom Programme, Triple P, Speak Easy, Babyology, Mellow Parenting and Parenting Workshops. Outreach and family support is available to families requesting the service both in the home and at the Centre. Parents and Early Life Support Officers engage in a mutual exploration of goals and outcomes with a solution focussed approach. The Supporting Families Team with an emphasis on delivering intervention services work with families where additional support has been identified as being beneficial to those families. Services tend to be bespoke, meeting the individual family need.
These families do not work a typical 9-5, this does not mean that they are not involved with their children’s school. They do what they can, when they can. Or they may only have one vehicle between two parents, and job schedules conflict. Just because they aren’t at every event, don’t rule them out based on negative assumptions. These assumptions lead to lower academic expectations of these students and an overlook of what these families bring to the classroom and the
When it comes to controversy of medicating a child that has EBD or ADHD it is huge. Parents do not like to speak about how this could affect their children by medication to help process their disability. People with ADHD or EBD is not considered a disability, but many people feel that with these symptoms also comes the ease of breaking them down. This is not how children with these problems should be treated. There are ordinary people of society, only with special care needs.
External schooling in larger towns and boarding school scholarships just a few of the opportunities available, although the issues of healthy family relationships has been raised. It is difficult for a family, without the luxuries of the city, to stay in contact and keep in relationship with a child that is either interstate studying or out of town for the majority of the year while at a boarding school. In the eyes of the families who could make themselves/ their children available to these opportunities, it is seen as an unfair expectation to assume that sending children away is the best option for the family (Mclaughlin, 2010). In some cases, removing children from their homes can put strain on families and communities who have raised their children together for decades. This, in some cases, can be a catalyst for children rebelling or acting out in classroom
The first issue is parents don’t believe there kids are responsible, but I would tend to disagree I feel kids these days are very responsible sometimes they don’t make the right decisions, but that is part of life and they learn from their mistakes. Many teens these days tend to make decisions that affect their life in either a positive or
