When is it best to start observing a child to pick up on any additional needs they might have?
When they are about 4 years old
As soon as you notice they cannot do what others can.
Once they have been with you 6 months
As soon as they arrive in your setting
When we talk about a partnership with others for the benefit of the child with additional needs we mean:
Professional organisations, doctors, therapists and parents
We mean everyone who works in the setting who is not the key worker.
We mean professionals but not the parents
We mean the educational psychologist and speech and language therapist
When a child has a significant additional need they may be assigned a social worker because:
The parents will not be able to cope and may harm the child
It is expected that other children in the family will be at great risk of neglect.
They would never be assigned a social worker unless there was a child protection issued raised
It is a way to give the family support and advice with one key contact person.
Children considered to have additional needs are:
Children who cannot be placed in main stream care or education.
Children who are struggling with any difficulty even a temporary one.
Only children that have a physical or learning disability
Children, who it is considered, will not be able to lead an independent life.
