K4D932- How to adapt your practice to support the development of creativity for children whom you are responsible, including different ages, genders, ethnicities, needs and abilities, including children with disabilities and special educational needs
thank u |
When providing activities depending on what they are some children may not readily take part unless you adapt it in some way
Gender
e.g not all boys will readily take part in Art/Craft/Mark making activities, what do you do within your setting to encourage their participation? For mark making you may use cars trains etc. with paint, shaving foam.
Disabilities
Children with varying needs will again need extra support e.g a child with Autistic spectrum Disorder who has lots of sensory issues may not like the textures of some messy play, such as shaving foam, gloop etc. but loves food, you could then use food base materials such as custard, yogurt, jelly, cream etc. to try and engage and encourage their participation,even though it may be very small steps at a time.
You basically are looking at your personal experiences or what you would do to ensure the inclusion of all children you care for
