For this portion of your assignment you will be writing a reflection based on the completed ASQ and the child development checklist through the lens of what you have learned about social, emotional, physical and cognitive development for this child’s developmental age.
Using the data you collected in your child study project, reflect on the following:
A summary of what you observed in terms of the child’s development and learning, using examples—as applicable. Be sure to include specific information related to developmental milestones and stages and any applicable red flags. Objectivity is no longer required at this point in your assignment, as you are now making subjective observations.
An overview of what you observed in each developmental area. In your description, be sure to integrate theory as an infrastructure for your discussion of developmental areas.
Specific examples of how your observational data complemented or deviated from developmental milestones.
Three specific examples, based on your observation, of how each area of development interrelates.
A description of how contextual factors (such as race, ethnicity, language, ability, socio-economics, religion, and society) influence healthy development and learning. Based on the child you assessed, specifically, what impact might cultural, familial, biological, and environmental influences have on his or her physical and mental health, well-being, and nutrition?
A description of how protective factors within the environment could serve to alleviate stress and foster resiliency.
Recommendations for further assessment or screening (if needed) and list at least three additional resources for families and teachers in these identified areas. Include specific information, as applicable, related to multi-language acquisition.
Based on research, developmental theory, and your observations, suggest evidence-based practices, with a rationale, that you feel would support this child’s development and learning.
Identify strategies that would ensure the development and learning of each and every child, across each domain (physical/social/ emotional/cognitive/language/aesthetic), is supported through evidence-based practice.
You will submit 1 document for Part 3:
