Hi Lolly,

You need to be able to use information used in your setting or placement for these, is it possible you can chat with colleagues about the performance criteria and see if they can help you approach the reflective accounts?

Quote:

Element CCLD 209.1 Support a child with disabilities or special educational needs by providing care and encouragement
Performance criteria
This is the national standard which you must meet:
1. Seek information about the child's individual needs from colleagues
2. Follow the child's individual plan as a basis for their care and participation
3. Promptly refer to others any concerns about the child, according to the procedures of your setting
4. Communicate effectively with the child, seeking advice and support to overcome any communication difficulties
5. Give praise and reward for the child's efforts and achievements
6. Sensitively support and care for the child, making sure that what you do is suitable for the child’s age, needs and abilities

Element CCLD 209.2 Provide support to help the child to participate in activities and experiences
Performance criteria
This is the national standard which you must meet:
1. Sensitively observe the child in everyday activities, identifying any barriers to participation in activities and experiences
2. Offer alternative activities if required
3. In consultation with others adapt activities and experiences to enable the child to take part
4. Use any specialist aids and equipment as required
5. Adapt the environment, including layout of furniture and accessibility of equipment
6. Encourage children's positive behaviour

Let us know how it goes xx

Hi

Why has your assessor agreed to you doing this unit if you don't work with disabled children you won't be able to give a true reflective account on how you support children with sen or disabilities within your practice.
If you do have children that are either disabled but within a different room to yourself could you not ask if you could spend a morning with them. (I mean this by age ranging rooms)

if you havent worked with children with special needs you should choose a different unit.

ow boy this is hard..the assesser has set the units so we have to do it,,i dnt work with disabled children so very hard for me to asses,,i have to do unit 209.2 pc 1-6..provvide support to help the child to participate in activities and experiances..plz help..i really am stuck on this one,,many thanks to all x

listen YOU choose the units NOT your assessor. go back to her after choosing one you CAN do and tell her or speak to her manager.

Is there a particular reason for assessor choosing your units? Does she actually discuss anything with you??
I think you need to forget doing this unit completely regardless of what your assessor says and TELL her you have chosen a unit you can do!!!

at my assessors meeting today i asked them if they would ever dictate a choice of units and they all laughed out loud! never! was the reply !

I didn't get a choice on mine either, I have to do 207 teamwork but would have loved to do 209 as I work with all the sen children in our nursery =(
