Develop a Well-being plan that supports inclusion, equity, social justice and diversity.
Part 1
Briefly describe
a) how the child’s developmental delay or medical condition affects his/her access to and participation in age-appropriate experiences: include any medical history (if relevant, such as physical, hearing, vision, CDC report etc)
For example:
TAYA
Taya has been attending a children’s education and care service since she was 12 months old and is soon going to be turning 4 years old. Taya’s family is keen for her to move up into the preschool room from the 2-3 year old room, and they have been talking with the service about transitioning her as soon as possible after her birthday. Taya has a physical disability that requires her to use a wheelchair and she currently wears nappies to meet her toileting needs. The service is unsure if transitioning Taya is the right choice as she is not toilet trained. The transition policy of the service states that all children must be out of nappies and able to use the toilet independently before being able to transition to or enrol in the preschool room.
The service has given Taya’s parents a copy of their transition policy and explained that they are unable to move forward with the transition at this time. Taya has been asking her parents if she can move up after her birthday as some of her peers and friends have already transitioned. Taya’s parents are frustrated and upset that their daughter may miss out on the opportunity to transition into the older room with her peers.
