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.
