Your Question?
1. When caring for a child with an additional need we may need to adapt the service. What can this adaption involve?
2. How can a carer’s relationship with the child and his/her family support behaviour managements programs?
What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
1 The adaption can vary depending on what time of additional needs your catering for as you may need to make adaption to the environment like adding ramps for better access to service indoors and out having railing in bathroom. Also adapt the play space both indoor and outdoor for example back thing accessible to children this will help all children play together and have fun always remember to always ask parent’s how can you change the environment to suit your child’s needs.
2.Having a good relationship with families helps with managing behaviour as it is good to have open communication with families about behaviour programs for example if service was considering making a sticker chart or tick chart to encourage children to sit during group time, share the toys or equipment you would consult this plan with parent’s and also update them on the progress it is making. If you were going to make a behaviour management program you would need to record your observation about the behaviour noted what time and what might be triggering these behaviours you will also need to communicator with families to see if this behaviour is also occurring at home or just when the child’s is in care? As the families might also like, to have a say about the program that will be implemented. Once the program in running you will have to review the program to see if the strategies are helping with the behaviour. You would have ongoing communication the family and other educators to make sure all staff are on board with the behaviour management plan.
