Children and Their Vision

Post by Lillypad88 » Tue Feb 23, 2016 1:26 pm

Hello,
I am stuck on this scenario?
My name is Tina. I am from the Philippines and I am 4 years old. I came to Australia six months ago with my mother and my two older brothers. My father was Australian but he died in a motorbike accident 3 months ago. We live with my paternal grandparents. I speak English and Filipino. I have 30% vision in my left eye and 80% vision in my right eye. Since arriving in Australia I have had an assessment and mobility training with Vision Australia.”

What information would you seek from Tina’s mother?

How would you go about assessing the physical environment in anticipation of Tina’s enrolment?

How would you incorporate Tina’s cultural background into the program?
Could you possibly point me in the right direction here too please?



Also would these answers be correct below?
As part of the services inclusion policy educators may be required to consult/liaise with a specialist service or agency in relation to a child with additional needs.
List three reasons how this practice supports services to be inclusive
- treating families with dignity and respect;
-sharing relevant information so that families
can make informed decisions;
-offering families choices regarding their
involvement in and the provision of services; and forming partnerships with
families and working collaboratively with them.
Thank you so much Lorina :)

Can I also please get some further assistance with this question?
So far all I have for additional information to seek from Tina's mother is:
General information about Tina's overall development
Tinas background, health status and care plan in regards to vision impairment

Thank you in advance!
