Question

(a) A child with physical limitation is accepted into your early childhood facility, what are some necessary considerations to cater for the needs of this child.

(b) There are five main areas to consider when describing the all-rounded development of the child. these include :

(c) There are two particular senses involve in motor skill development discuss. ( these two sense help to motivate motor skill development)

Answer 1

a) Need of child is usually described a person with a physical or emotional difficulty or difference that requires more assistance or specialized services.

Needs of the child with physical limitation include vital activities ranging from movement or communication to making important decisions and taking care of themselves, but teaching diversity from a young age and overcoming adversity with the help of the ones you love can broaden horizons for everyone involved. child with physical limitation includes physical disabilities such as congenital deformities, spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, brittle bones, haemophilia, cystic fibrosis or severe accidental injury. They may have minimal special educational needs, while child with minimal physical disability have serious learning needs. Physical access is important factor for child who have physical disabilities as those who use wheelchairs, braces, crutches, rolators, canes or prostheses, or those who fatigue easily may have difficulty moving around a school campus, so they need some spatial distance

b) Following are 5 major areas of development of children

1. Cognitive Development Ability of child to learn and solve problems. For example, 5 year old baby learns how to solve simple math problems.
2. Social and Emotional Development
   Ability of child to interact with others, that includes helping themselves and self-control. Examples baby smiling, 10 month old baby waving bye-bye
3. Speech and Language Development
   Ability of child to understand and use language. For example, this includes baby speaking for first time
4. Fine Motor Skill Development
   Ability of child to use small muscles, for example their hands and fingera, to pick up small objects, hold a spoon etc..
5. Gross Motor Skill Development
   Ability of child to use large muscles.

c) Motor skills is described as movements and actions of the bone structures of infant baby or child. for example of consider instance, the smell of a summer night campfire or a song you memorized the lyrics to with a childhood friend. Now, when your nostrils and eardrums are realise familiar smells and sounds, brain triggers a flashback memory to those special times. So they actively use their senses touch and sight which helps to build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways.

This leads to a child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks and supports gross motor skills. Touch (the stimulation that comes from touch receptors in our skin that react to pressure, heat/cold, or vibration.) and Sight (the stimulation of light receptors in our eyes, which our brains then interpret into visual images.) So here Touch and Sight are major senses in motor skill development.
