Objectives
Based on the case scenario and a set of instructions, students will write an essay with at least 600-words to identify the steps on the referral process for IEPs. We will focus on the following objectives when analyzing Nadia’s case scenario:
Examine and explain varying abilities including physical, sensory, communicative and behavioral varying abilities among children from birth to eight years of age in light of diversity and family issues.
Demonstrate knowledge of the philosophy and techniques used in ethical, and developmental assessment, as well as on strengths-based and family-centered intervention strategies.
If you follow the steps on the assignment, these are designed to help you meet these learning outcomes. Instructions
Based on the case scenario listed below this instructions, students will write an essay with at least 600-words. When writing the essay students will use the A-D bullets listed below as a way to organize their essay paragraphs. Identify the family strengths as well as Nadia’s strengths.
Explain what ethical strategies teachers may follow to conduct an assessment of the child’s strengths and needs (you may refer to some pages studied in module 4). These strengths and needs are needed to conduct IFSPs or IEPs. Identify some strategies to support the child using Response to Intervention.
Explain if the child would be referred for an evaluation with an early intervention Services agency (IFSP) or if the child needs to be referred for an IEP with the school district, and why.
Case Scenario
Nadia is a Romanian little girl who is 2 years and three months. She lives with her adoptive American parents who adopted her when she was 1.5 years old. Mr. and Mrs. Jones have BA degrees and have professional careers and are economically stable. Most of the adoption paperwork was done at distance since the pandemic was a challenging time to travel. While Nadia was in an orphan agency in Romania. Caregivers at the orphanage did not have much chance to care one on one with Nadia due to high caregiver to child ratios. Now in the USA, Nadia has been attending to a community daycare for about 5 weeks, where YOU work as a teacher. As her teacher, you have observed that Nadia’s gross motor skills may be atypical for her age. She recently learned to walk about 8 months ago, but she has an awkward gait and is a bit unbalanced when she runs. She is resistant to climb into the play structure and has fear to slide down. Mrs. Jones report that she is very active and most often in movement. Nadia’s parents have expressed concerns about her speech and language skills. Nadia expresses herself with a few single words, and she only knows about 10 signs. Her parents do not understand Romanian. Nadia has been 8 months in the USA. Nadia is in the process of being toilet-trained. Both of her parents mentioned to you that they are in love with their little girl, but their dreams were somewhat shattered because they were expecting to adopt a child of typical development. They report that Nadia likes pretty hair bows, ribbons, and clips and will try to pull them out of people’s hair, although she does not like to wear them in her own hair. Nadia smiles frequently, however, when she goes out with her parents, they have a very difficult time out in the community because Nadia will resist moving by either pulling away from them or dropping to the ground. Nadia will also try to wander off when they are in stores, restaurants, and other community places. When Nadia wanders, she often will mouth objects within her reach. In the home, they need to keep the bathroom and bedroom doors closed so that she cannot get access to items in these rooms, for fear of choking. Also for her safety, they have Nadia sleep in a crib.
She seems to like to attend daycare. She plays with toys, especially with dolls and strollers. During circle time, Nadia seems to have a very short attention span. Also during directed activity time she quickly wants to move from one activity to the next. She seems very interested in her peers, but doesn’t seem to know how to greet or interact with them.
She is a happy child. She is beginning to imitate her friends’ gross motor activities and loves to dance and listen to music. Yet you have noticed that Nadia engages in challenging behaviors throughout the day. These behaviors include mouthing toys, pulling hair, resisting moving, and wandering around the classroom. You are now feeling overwhelmed in your classroom and feel that Nadia she needs one-on-one assistance or guidance during activities (in the playground and also in the classroom centers).
