By what has been presented Jimmy didn’t seem to have a positive and loving environment. His mum drank and had mental health problems. How did these factors occur? A possible lack of support for bringing up a child alone or Social-economic factors. Another area could be living in an area where people were living below the poverty line. In this instance there wouldn’t be any close ties with other people who live in the area. Being isolated in this instance with no social support from others who live close by may have had an impact on her.

Do you need additional support?

“I always knew I wanted to be a teacher,” she stated. Her passion for helping children with special needs was developed at a later age. The reason why Chris decided to be a special education teacher was because of two twin boys in her grade who had special needs. Chris was only in kindergarten at the time, but she recalls that one of these boys did not get to go to school. The other boy, Jimmy, could come to school, but he would have to leave halfway through the school day. Chris was confused and upset about how Jimmy could not be at school and asked her mom about this. The reason why Jimmy and his brother were not at school was because there was no special education program. This moment, even though she was in kindergarten, shaped Chris’s plan for her
When working with children it is vital we have a good understanding of the principles and values such as United Nations Children’s Rights Convention.

At this point Malia was two and a half years old and this is where I began to take issue with the evaluation process.The process was a one day period where up to twelve doctors, psychologists, speech pathologists, audiologists, and occupational therapists each spent thirty minutes with Malia, evaluating her based on standard tests. After six hours with Malia, the professionals gathered together and discussed their conclusions. After their discussion, they called Malia and me in. They told me that their diagnosis for her was "a mild conductive bilateral hearing loss, language disorder and borderline intelligence."That was all the information they gave me, other than to tell me that Malia's pediatrician would receive a report and follow-up accordingly.

...uld not wait to hear all about it. Willow began by saying how much she loved it and could not wait to go back the next day. She told her mom about her new friends Lilly, Riley and Anna. Excitedly she said “Mom, you will never believe it, but I ate ants on a log for a snack!” “But really, it was just celery with peanut butter and raisins on it, and it was awesome!” She was thrilled when asked what she all learned, she told Hazel she could count her numbers, write her name and how to introduce herself to new people. Willow’s eyes lit up when she told her mom that she went down the really tall slide two times. Then Willow said, “I love you, Mommy, for bring me here.” Hazel then realized how much Willow enjoyed day care and thought it was a fabulous idea to send her there. Although parents want their children to stay home, it is important to have them attend a daycare.
