My objective is to share and explain some of the average milestones, developmental skills and tasks associated with children from 3-5 years old. These standard guidelines are to assist us to evaluate where a child might be, in comparison to his or hers age and peers of their own age. The anticipatory guidelines are not always cut and dry but do give us a idea at what level the children are on and how we can relate, teach and communicate with them the best, on their level.…
Treatment targets allow clinicians to successfully create a plan of action for the client. The first treatment target is developmental norms are based on normative data gathered from speech development research studies. Clinicians use developmental norms the most due to the clinically wise decision of treating the child to what is appropriate for his/her age. A clinician may use developmental norms because the norms of the research serves as a representation of where the child falls in and can ultimately be useful in the school setting or for insurance requirements.…
1- Screening is used to determine whether the students may need help or services, or whether they are ready to begin a course, grade level or academic program. 2- The evaluation is to evaluate the child’s development to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. 3- Eligibility and diagnosis is used whether the child has a disability and is eligible for special education services, and to diagnose a child’s problems.…
3.1/3.2 Explain how to monitor children and young people’s development using different methods and specifically explain what the importance is of observation within the monitor and assessment process. Assessment framework To measure a child/ young person development through assessment you will carry out small target on a daily basis to see if they are able to achieve this and follow them up at the end of the academic years with test such as SATs to determine their learning age or GCSE to help the move on further in life with their studies. Classroom observation may also take place by a TA so see what area need to be worked on.…
The reason why it’s important to discuss developmental milestones with families regularly from the beginning is because we need to help the child achieve the milestones. When the caregivers aren’t present, it’s important for the family members to try and help the child at home with achieving the milestone. From the beginning to the present, many things could change in the child’s developmental milestones. Like to see if the child has made any progress since the beginning and if they did then head towards the new milestone and if not think of ways to help achieve the milestone. I thought that Ms. Carolyn communicated nicely with David’s mom.…
Children’s learning and development may affect the stage of development they have reached and this will need to pass the milestone for example learning how to walk may occur at an early stage for some children, at 10 months while others between 12-16 months. Table 3.13.3 shows the effect of a development delay on children’s learning according to Penny Tassoni on page 350 As we have seen there are a many ways that would lead to children being effect with their development, therefore, it is important to be aware and understand how children develop physically, emotionally, socially etc. as this will help us…
Norm referenced tests are used to compare and rank test takers to one another. This is determined by comparing scores against the performance results of a group of test takers with typically the same characteristics as same age or grade level, who have previously taken the exam (Great Schools Partnerships, 2015). These tests have been used for many years in education to assess children in need of special education services using best practices associated with norm-referenced tests. There are legal requirements for each test administered to students and each state usually has their own set of requirements, and only an approved set of individuals has access to these test results. Best Practices When practitioners evaluate a child, a common way of doing so is through the use of norm-referenced tests; meaning that the answers the tests conclude are based on the average score of those most similar to the child.…
The Rossetti can be administered by anyone in the assessment and intervention team; it does not have to be administered by a speech-language pathologist. The only qualification is that the evaluator has a thorough knowledge of child development and communication skills. The instrument can be administered in the home, at school, in the clinic, in a hospital setting etc., as long as the child is comfortable in the setting and there are few distractions. The caregiver should also be present during the assessment to make the child more at ease, and to comment or report on the child’s behaviors.…
Extended Assessment Knowing the child’s individual needs: Knowing the child’s individual needs is very important as it allows the practitioner to find out on what the child’s interests are but also to find out where the child is at with their Holistic development. Knowing the child’s development methods and stages will allow the practitioner to plan and carry out activities based on the child’s development methods and the practitioner should provide the suitable support if the child needs it and to know what tasks the child finds simple and other tasks the child find challenging. If the practitioner did not find out about the child’s individual needs and development methods, it could cause difficulty for the child to learn which could affect…
1. Introduction: The development of a child is referred to by the changes that a child undergoes during growth. These changes develop in relation to physical and mental health as well as emotional and social competence. Research confirms that the first three years of a child’s life are critical in shaping the architecture of the brain.…
Denver Developmental Screening Test-II According to Israel & Yamaguchi (2015) , the interaction between nature and nurture distinguish the multifaceted tasks of childhood development and the importance of discovering any delays. Burns, Dunn, Brady, Starr, Blosser (2013) state that Denver Developmental Screening Test II or DDST II was first published in 1967 and then revised in 1992. DDST II assesses gross motor, fine motor, language, and personal social skills. The DDST II detects potential or actual developmental delays or abnormalities with comparison of normal results that were established in the late 1980s with a sample of children from the Denver, CO region (Wijedasa, 2011).…
Having access to facilities where families can utilise equipment and resources with the aim to enhance socialisation for their children can greatly impact families as children are often excluded from social and or sporting events which form essential connections for the developing child. Isolation is often a factor of having a child with a disability or additional need as some areas may not accommodate these needs (Clarke, 2006). Each child is unique regardless of their impairment or needs, therefore accessing facilities and services that recognise this very important and an integral aspect in addition is essential for their continued growth and education. The Behavioural Perspective The phrase ‘child displays challenging behaviour’ is often misconstrued as the child has a disability or additional need.…

Assessment Summary #2 – T.J. T.J. is a very interesting four year old, that I have had the privilege of being able to continue to observe him. He likes to play cars and rough house with his buddies especially on the playground. T.J. has had ups and down throughout my observation period at the child development center. The second half of the observations I have noticed that T.J. has at times secluded himself from interacting with his fellow classmates. In other aspects of development he has progressed such as in speaking and vocabulary since the start of me observing him.…
Their ideas of the stages can also be useful as a teacher when working with various age groups. The theories can be used to consider what learning style might work best for the age group I am teaching, in my future career, and I will be sure to use objects to aid learning wherever possible. Additionally, however, I will also remember that not all children develop at exactly the same rate and may not adhere to the stages set out by Bruner and Piaget which, fortunately, is something Piaget himself also considered (Rains, J. R., Kelly, C. c., & Durham, R. L.,…
