What Goals And Objectives Were Clearly Identifiable?

The goals and objectives were clearly identifiable?
The goals and objectives are not clearly stated but it became very clear that the objectives include: engagement with each other and initiating conversation. The clinician successfully achieves these goals by providing an activity for the children to engage in but still allowing them to take initiation. The clinician reacts to almost every comment the children make in order to promote engagement between the two clients. By allowing the children to take control of the session he provides them with practice initiating conversations.

The therapy activities were developmentally appropriate?

He never allows the conversation to go completely off task but in order to fulfill the objectives, he must allow the children to take initiation. A great example of this is when Christian ask about quarters and the clinician allows the conversation to shift towards what Christian is interested in talking about, yet still keeping Olivia engaged as well. When the children become too off task the clinician touches the children on the arm or begins a new activity in order to center the conversation again.

The clinician provided treatment that was fluid and well paced?
The children are very active during the entire therapy session and the clinician provides constant activities in order to keep up with the fast pace. The clinician alternates between literacy-based activities and play-based activities, which allows for a smooth and meaningful flow. Both the client and clinician seem very comfortable with each other, therefore, creating a warm and welcoming environment.

The clinician exhibited an empathetic (caring, compassionate)

    Another way in which practitioners support children’s well-being is by making sure the children are always provided with both educational and enjoyable activities, as children learn through play and the children are much more likely to learn if the activities interest them. These activities could include touchy-feely books, gluing and sticking, toy phones and drawing. Drawing, for example, helps children master the grasps (including the palmer grasp, pincer grasp and tripod grasp) and is also an enjoyable activity for some children to take part in so they could be interested. It is important to find activities and themes each child is interested in to make sure they are included and that they join in, as well as learning and developing in the activity as they are more likely to pay attention if they are interested, which could lead to them paying attention, learning…

    Child-initiated activity hands practitioners a very powerful opportunity for learning. To make the most of this, as a practitioner you must: * maintain children's focus - actively using a range of strategies to keep the children engaged and extend their learning - introducing new words, thinking out loud, introducing more complex speech, bringing in new problems, encouraging conflict negotiation, demonstrating or explaining new ways of working towards a solution * offer assistance and support, when needed, so children are successful in following their ideas, even something simple like holding an object while a child works * ensure the learning environment offers a wide range of stimulating open-ended materials, both outdoors and indoors, for…

    In a study completed by Renee L. Watling and Jean Dietz (2007), the authors examined the effects of Ayres’ sensory integration-based occupational therapy interventions on children who have been diagnosed with ASD. This study used a single subject, ABAB design to compare the immediate effects of the interventions on the undesired behaviors that are present during task engagement, which in this case were tabletop activities. The tabletop activity was chosen, as it is congruent with educational situations that are encountered during occupational engagement (Watling and Dietz, 2007). The sample population included four children who have been diagnosed with ASD. Eligibility for this study included “no comorbid diagnoses, absence of seizures, no concurrent occupational therapy services, and no intention to add or change medications or therapy services during the course of the study” (Watling and Dietz, 2007).…

    When planning and conducting our study, the anonymity of the parents was our first and foremost top concern. The NASW Code of Ethics (NASW, 2008) responsibility number 1.07 discusses privacy and confidentiality. We are not asking for any identifying information other than the grade level of the child from the parents. No names or other identifying markers are to be placed on the survey, thereby ensuring it will be anonymous as possible. When the surveys are finished, they will be sealed in a manila envelope, only to be opened by a member of the Aurora University research team in an off-premise location.…

    Counsellors who work with children will use many play techniques for assessment and to meet goals with their clients. Axline (1989) was an early founder of play therapy for children and postulated that counsellors must accept and allow the child to lead the session, which enabled for an atmosphere whereby the child felt free to express themselves, the counsellor was able to reflect the feelings back and respect the child’s ability to solve their own problems. A play and art therapist would therefore make an effort to encourage the clients self-expression which can be done through…

    Within social work practice various capabilities need to be demonstrated. According to the Professional Capabilities Framework (BASW, 2012), social workers must have the capacity to “use judgement and authority to individuals and families to promote independence and provide support” (PCF 7: Intervention and Skills), and within the Knowledge and Skills Statement, it is vital for social workers “to promote optimal child development and be alert to signs that may indicate otherwise”.
