I was doing this case study and really stuck in this question?
Hope someone can help
Scenario - Harry
Harry Green is 3 years old and the youngest of four children. He is due to start at your service in three weeks time. Mrs Green arrives as scheduled to complete the enrolment for Harry to attend your service. Harry is not with Mrs Green. In fact, you have never met Harry. On each occasion you have met with Mrs Green, Harry was being cared for by a family member.
You had asked Mrs Green to bring Harry along today so that you could meet him and show him around the service. Mrs Green said that Harry had a cold and she felt it was best to keep him away from other children to avoid infecting others.
As you read through the enrolment form you note that Harry has no special needs and has had no serious illnesses. At the conclusion of the interview you again stress the need for Harry to spend some time at the service with his mother prior to commencement. You explained that the orientation helps children to adjust to care and allows for a gradual transition.
On the day Harry is supposed to start his orientation Mrs Green rings and says she thinks he has the measles. A few days later Mrs Green telephones to say that Harry has the measles and that the family are going away for a week in the school holidays. This means that Harry will miss all of his orientation as Mrs Green will then be returning to work. You have an uneasy feeling that perhaps there is more to Harry’s absence than Mrs Green is telling you.
When Harry finally arrives at the service you are able to see straight away that he has special needs. He has an unusual walking style, poor language and is small for his age. By the end of the day it is clear the Harry is developmentally delayed and has fine and gross motor problems.
When Mrs Green arrives to collect Harry you invite her to talk to you about Harry. ‘Mrs Green, I am concerned about Harry’s development.’ Mrs Green bursts into tears and says, ‘Please let Harry stay.’
Further discussion reveals that Harry has been slow in reaching his milestones, and is under the care of a paediatrician. He is also scheduled to have his hearing tested by an audiologist
Question 5
List 4 pieces of information you would provide Mrs Green in relation to inclusive practices. Then list a strategy for each on how the educators and the centre will support Harry and Mrs Green
