PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE FOR CHILDREN WITH EXCEPTIONALITIES
The changes that take place for a family of a child with special needs are often out of the family member's control, so it can be a confusing and frustrating time. Parents may begin to feel helpless and powerless with decisions often being made by professionals outside of the family unit regarding what is best for their child. An important part of your job is to provide support and assistance for children with exceptionalities which will enable them to receive quality community services. You can do this by:
• Providing the child, staff and parents with access to the resources they need• Helping children to access the appropriate type of service for their condition that will suit both their needs and the needs of their family
• Helping parents to develop an individual programme for each child’s development
• Informing parents about workshops on child development and children with special needs There is often an assumption that the quality of education for all students will decrease if children with exceptionalities are included in the programme. Parents of children with exceptionalities feel that their children will not get the necessary attention and specialized instruction that they need. On the other hand, parents of the other children feel that those with disabilities will hold back the class because of the additional attention that they require. In order to maintain quality in early childhood education, it is important to provide the additional services that a child requires. It does not benefit anyone to try to include a child with a developmental delay in an early childhood programme without the necessary services. Not every child with a developmental delay will need an additional staff person or speech and physiotherapy services. Parents, staff, specialists and the manager must work together to determine and secure whatever resources the child requires. For example, if an exceptional child in an inclusive ECI is crawling and needs to be carried sometimes, the manager should arrange for an additional part-time staff member. If the child needs additional assistance with gross motor skills and language, a physiotherapist and speech therapist should visit the child at the centre. The staff at the ECI should have access to the information they require to provide the quality care and education that the child needs. The staff may need additional materials and opportunities to attend conferences, workshops and specialized training sessions.
