For this week’s assignment, select FIVE case studies to complete.
Read the case studies and answer the questions below. Y our assignment will be graded based on how you apply the information learned in class, thus your answers need to be thorough. Use complete sentences in response to the questions posed and please correct all spelling errors as points may be deducted for grammar and spelling mistakes.
1. Mimi is a five year-old who has recently joined Linn’s kindergarten classroom. She is hard of hearing and requires hearing aids, and has limited speech. She can speak, but the quality of her voice is obviously affected. The other children have noticed and have been asking why she sounds different than they do. How would you handle this situation? What steps can Linn take to help Mimi in this transition while at the same time manage the other children’s curiosity and interest?
2. Paula is a six year-old in your classroom who has diabetes. Her diabetes is controlled by insulin injections. The diabetes is pretty well under control because she tests her urine several times a day, which means having to leave the classroom several times a day. Depending on her blood sugar levels, she may need to eat a snack right away. How can you adjust the classroom so that Paula doesn’t ‘stand out’ from her peers? Describe the strategies you might use in creating an inclusive setting?
3. Malin has come to your childcare program with some serious vision difficulties. He is almost three and has great physical control. What could you do to help him adjust to your center and how can you maximize the learning environment for him?
4. As a teacher of a toddler-age group, you notice that Doris is displaying possible symptoms of autism. How do you approach the family with your concerns? How do you prepare for the meeting? Who would you refer the family to and why?
5. Jeremy is 5 years old, and has moderate to severe asthma. His parents are divorced and they disagree on how his asthma should be managed. His mother wants to use conventional asthma medical treatment, but his father wants to use homeopathic treatments. You get different instructions about what to do depending on who drops the child off at preschool. What are the issues here, and how do you think it is best to communicate with the family?
6. Daniel, who is three years old, has been found to be highly allergic to peanuts, milk, and eggs. What measures and/or policies will you put in place in your early childhood education environment to see that he is safe and never exposed to any of these products? What foods would you serve to ensure that all children in your care are meeting their nutritional needs while still keeping Daniel safe?
7. Allen, four years old, has epilepsy and takes medication for it. His doctor is changing his medication and has alerted Allen’s mother that he may have several seizures in the first few weeks as they attempt to adjust the dosage. You are Allen’s teacher, and his mother has alerted you to this potential problem. You feel that you need to be prepared for this. You also feel that you should have some concrete ways to support Allen should it happen and that you must deal with the aftermath with the other children should this happen. What will you do to support both Allen and the other children under your care?
