CHCECE021 - Inclusion Policy Embedded In The Service Philosophy
Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:12 pm
hello i need some help with following question.
Explain how the inclusion policy reflects the values embedded in the service philosophy?
my answer was,
Modifications, adaptations and supports can be utilised within the early childhood environment to assist the inclusion of children with disabilities or special needs.
How educators refer to and interact with the child greatly influences how the child is perceived by peers and others in the care environment. It is important to focus on all aspects of development rather than simply focusing on the child’s identified need. The focus must be on enhancing the child’s strengths and developing areas of need. It is also important to avoid regarding the child as a victim. By focusing on the child’s strengths the educator can support the child to reach his or her full potential. Educators can minimise stereotyping by avoiding the use of labels and keeping in mind the importance of ‘the child first principle’. It is also important to avoid labelling or stereotyping - Educators have a responsibility to advocate on behalf of the child and should always refer to the child first and the disability second.
Thanks
