We have a child in our setting who had cataracts removed when she was a baby, from both eyes. She had to have special lenses put in her eyes to enable her to develop 'visual rehabilitation' and this could only be done by the parents so would have involved her parents coming in and out to administer eye drop medication and to deal with these lenses if they popped out. Now the child is almost 3 and has to wear very thick glasses in place of the lenses. I am assuming that she is registered as being partially sighted, but I'm not too sure about this to be honest. Anyway, we now have a lady that comes in regularly to talk to the people working directly with the child (…

Individual Education Plans

I'm trying to rethink the design of the form we fill in for individual education plans, I think our present layout has got a bit outdated. We need to rethink it so that it meets the needs of the many agencies that we are working closely with. I would be really interested to see what others use and to share formats. I'm also interested to know what you choose to call the plans when they are for very young children, eg 3 and under - do you prefer development plans, or play plans or action plans? Really interested to exchange ideas about this. Thanks - I look forward to seeing your ideas - I think this forum is great - everyone help each other. VeeCee

Hi dear friends! Won't go into too many details - but have a little one coming into my reception class who has 'global developmental delay' and is stated to be working simular to a two and half year old. He had i-i support in pre-school, but appears to be falling short for funding / help in mainstream. At present (this term) he is attending afternoons only. After Xmas full-time. Help appears to be (well completely non-existant) I am hopefully having an EP visiting soon who will observe and advise/ school have said they will self fund someone for half the day (but not specifically to just his own needs/ sub-group to be set up) I'll admit I'm completely lo…

Cerebral Palsy

Has anyone got any experience of a child in a pre-school setting with cerebral palsy? I know each case is different but some general pointers would be useful. What do I say to the other children? We have a 3 year old who may start at our setting coming to visit next week. Our committee chair has met him and Mum who will stay with him. He doesn't have any speech but I don't know anything about his comprehension levels.

Hi all We have a child at Nursery who was three over the summer. he has given cause for concern as he has poor speech, doesn't respond appropriatley to instruction unless given in one or two clear words. and due to his frustration bites other children. He does not interac t with the other children and when trying to find out what he knows e.g colours looks at us blankley and just repeats what we say. The cluster SENCO has been in and we are waiting for referral forms for assessment by the EYAT. He has recently had grommets inserted which we hoped would make a difference but hasn't. My supervisor is now asking me can we keep him back on birth to three matters, i don't …
