Case Study
A Syrian refugee who is 7 years of age has joined your setting. Through initial assessment you notice that she is not responding to sounds and noises. You feel that you should carry out further assessments.
- What will you need to consider in assessing her development?
- Who will you involve?
- What assessment methods will you use in your development plan?
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 assessor.
