Question 1

Note effectively the changes that children suspected of having disability are to be evaluated. Thus, evaluate the child’s health, vision and hearing, social and emotional status, general intelligence, communicative status, and motor ability. However, you should not use severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement. It should involve a variety of assessment tools and strategies in order to gather relevant information, whether functional, developmental, or academic about your child. Is my child’s cognitive skill present? Does he feed on well? Is he able to communicate well as the other children of his age? These, among other evaluation should be assessed (Zhang, 2008).

Question 2

The purpose of effective evaluation is to find out whether you child is a “child with disability”, gather information that will help determine the child’s educational needs and requirements, and to guide the parents in decision making regarding the child’s educational programming needs. Effective evaluation also helps in identifying, categorically, your child’s needs specifying autism from deafness, emotional disturbance and developmental delay, and hearing impairment from intellectual disability. This enables the parent to counter the problem at early stages before escalating (Baron, 2004).

Question 3

Services provided for each child are tailored to meet the child’s specification in the least restrictive educational setting in which the child’s requirements can be met. These services include audiology services, medical services, physiotherapy services, psychological services, speech and language services, and nutrition services. Services may be provided to address the child’s family priorities and needs. Family directed services are meant to help the family understand the special needs of their child in order to enhance his development (Davis and Broitman, 2011)

Question 4

Providing effective learning strategies can be helpful in the advancement of your child’s development skills. For instance, caregivers or trainers should establish a routine based on events rather than time. They should also provide a work area that is quiet, free from distraction. This may require the use of ear plugs or a scheduling work that requires concentration especially when other children are napping. Additionally, organize the home in such a way that you child can find what he wants without hunting for it. Use of positive approach, such as a simple command in teaching and feedback may be helpful (Zhang, 2008).

Question 5

Developmentally appropriate activities for young children include engaging in sport activities such as hide and seek so as the child can advance his cognitive skills. The child can also engage in play with other children so as to advance his communication skills. Additionally, the child can engage in play activities such as ball kicking for physical development skills (Baron, 2004).
