CHCECE023 - Scenario: Thomas - Intellectual Disability

[alexhenry]

hi there
im currently studying my diploma and struggling on this question which is apart of analyse information to inform learning.

You are an educator in an out of school hours care centre. You are working one – on- one with Thomas, a six- year-old boy with an intellectual disability. Responses should demonstrate inclusive practices and how to interpret and respond to out of character behaviour.

Answer the questions in 750 – 2500 words.

1. Provide examples of observations (including one out of character observation) that might be used to assess Thomas’s:
a) Play preferences
b) Social interactions
c) Communication and language
d) Thinking styles
e) Physical abilities
f) Emotional status

Thankyou in advance

First you need to identify the intellectual disability (e.g. Autism) so this helps you to understand the behaviour Thomas may display during observations.

The following may help:

Here is a range of different observations you could use:

Hope this helps,
