assignment 007 (physical care routines)
 

Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help with these questions.....

How physical care routines are used and adapted to support all children and young people's learning and development?

The care and development needs of babies and children under three?

I understand some of it by children with disabilities things need to be adapted for them in the environment.
Any help with ideas be appreciated
Thanks

Your assessor will want to not only know that things/equipment/resources will need to be adapted, but how do you do it?

She'll want to know if a child is unable to access an activity, how are you as a practitioner going to take or adapt that activity for a sen child or even a younger, less abled child or possibly a shy child who will prefer to stay back?

Just think of all the activities you provide and think how you would /could adapt to help children access it -i.e. painting - what if they are young and unable to hold a long paintbrush? You may offer them a short chubby one or let them use their hands. What if they couldn't reach the paint activity? - they may be in a wheelchair or on crutches - you could take the activty to them possibly using a table or tray.
Whatever you need to do, it's always easier if you have a sen child, as you do it automatically to include them; if you don't, you'll just have to imagine what a child with additional or different needs requires to include and offer them the activity.

I understand about SEN children as I had one with Autism but sometimes you think you dont know an answer for something, once you have asked someone you remember things...
My mind goes blank, once started im ok.
