Question 1 of 5

When is it best to start observing a child to pick up on any additional needs they might have?

As soon as they arrive in your setting

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

When we talk about a partnership with others for the benefit of the child with additional needs we mean:

We mean the educational psychologist and speech and language therapist

We mean everyone who works in the setting who is not the key worker.

We mean professionals but not the parents

Professional organisations, doctors, therapists and parents

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

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

It is expected that other children in the family will be at great risk of neglect

Children considered to have additional needs are:

Children, who it is considered, will not be able to lead an independent life

Only children that have a physical or learning disability

Children who cannot be placed in main stream care or education

Children who are struggling with any difficulty even a temporary one

Which of the following children would not usually receive specialist educational support?

Those with a learning delay
