ECSE 340 Week 9

This week my home visit went really well. My infant is sitting up and we started a new goal of balancing with her hands and reaching for objects. We tried something new as I sat her in a laundry basket. Her mother mentioned that while she is in a grocery cart her daughter gets tired of sitting up. Moving the laundry basket mimics that movement and will build her core strength.

For my Developmental Activity I am working on a booklet with her family’s pictures in it. This book will have sensory activities as well as a strap to hook to the laundry basket or to her car seat. This will allow her entertainment to engage her as she sits up.

In class this week I was able to get great feedback on my activity as we learned what I could do differently with my activity. They expounded on my idea and gave great critiques. I learned a lot from my peers this week.

In my expert interview for ECSE 421 I was able to get ideas for helping my toddler learn to sit up. I shared some frustration in applying my interventions into her daily routines. She said, “Every family is unique and busy, and trying to help them learn to help their child as a part of their routine.” –Sister Cranmer

As I focused on this quote I was able to use the coaching model more effectively in my intervention session.
