CHCIC512A- Inclusion in practices

hi i am a little stuck on this question, i thought i was on the right track butr the further down i got the more i wondered if i had it completely wrong, first two that have the asterics around them are my answers

any feedback would be greatly appreciated

1. Inclusion in practice:
Suggest how each principle relates to early childhood best practice and the concept of the 'whole child'

principle
A diagnosis, a label, or a category does not define a child, but pertains to a subset of his/her capabilities. -* a child is not the “autistic child” but the child with autisim. They need to be seen as an individual and not as the need*.

Diagnostic catergories may be of greatest value to professionals (medical, educational) and may be least important in the child's life –* the catergories may help practitioners to plan for a childs needs but the child just wants to have fun and knowing what catergory they fit in is not going to change that want*.

All children, regardless of their developmental status, have the same needs for inclusion, acceptance, interaction, play, stimulation and attention -

-Normal child development in all facets and domains serves as the springboard in understanding the nature m and course of atypical development, and in planning experiences, for development is on a continuum of a hierarchical and progressively complex organisation.

-The line between typical and atypical development may be an arbitrary one either because of the childs immense powers of resillience and ability to compensate for a dysfunction, or because assessment processes may be inaccurate.

-The most predictable aspect of development is change. The nature of change in atypical development may depend mainly on the compatibility of the environment with the needs of the child and the family.

-The child lives in the social context of the family which exists in a community.

OK, so I originally thought that this question was somehow linked to the NQS but after reading what your response is so far, what you have written makes sense. When referring to best practice I don't think it needs to be linked to the NQS specifically but how the principle stated links with best practice overall in early childhood. It sounds like you're heading in the right direction...
