Case Study

Chelsea is 7 yrs old and you have identified that her communication, speech and language development is delayed. You are aware of her home circumstances and the part that they play in her poor development. You know that you will get little assistance from her family to help her improve. You must, therefore, enlist the help of your colleagues.
- What will you ask your colleagues to do to help Chelsea?
- How will you explain to Chelsea’s mother and father the help you are giving her and why?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
