This week, we are beginning our case studies assignment. In preparation for class, I read about the routine based approach that goes along with the coaching model of early intervention. This made me think about the paperwork I received for the infant I will be working with because the parents would like him to learn sign language for the words more and all done. I thought of this because it will be important for me to go and be with the family during a meal time for the infant in order to effectively help the mother or father to help their infant learn these signs. If I didn't go during a meal time, the signs would be out of context and wouldn't be very natural.
"A child qualifies for part C services if they are developmentally delayed in one or more of the following categories:..cognitive...social/emotional...physical...adaptive self-help...and communication." (p. 5, Family-Centered Early Intervention).
The book then goes on to talk about how children and infants learn best in their natural environments.
