Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi I'm having trouble providing information for an inclusion plan for a four year old with cerebral palsy.

Q: What strategies will I adapt to support the inclusion of this child?
A: Adapting activities and the physical environment to include her.
I need two more answers but I cant get on the right track??

Q: How are you and the fellow staff going to include the child into the rooms curriculum?
A: Adding posters, books and toys that represent children with disabilities.
I also need to elaborate more on this but also cant get on the right track.

Please help!

HI i would like to know if i am on the right track with my answer.
Scenario.
Ella has spina bifida which makes walking difficult and she has a degree of urinary incontinence which means she sometimes wets herself at preschool if she does not make it to the toilet on time. Ella also has learning difficulties. observations of Ella at play reveal a pattern of social isolation during free play periods and acute shyness during planned activities.
Explain how you might demonstrate an understanding and application of inclusive principles when interpreting observations of Ella.
My Answer is.
Environmental factors may need to be changed such as adequate space for Ella to move between activities and toilets with confidence.
Placing activities which Ella is most actively participating in closer to the toilet Facilities.
Outside Environmental factors will need to be changed walking planks, steps may need widening for stability in stepping and hand rails on equipment for assistance and confidence in balance and climbing.
Role modelling the appropriate communicative skills with Ella and students through showing and guiding play and applying friend and group skills

Yes, you're on the right track with your responses!

Rather than Ella participating in play closer to the toilets, you could remind Ella to go to the bathroom every hour or so.
