to describe a group of chronic disorders impairing control of movement that

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy include difficulty with fine motor tasks, such as
writing or using scissors, difficulty maintaining balance or walking,
involuntary movements, and impairments of sight, hearing, or speech.”

muscles that can affect the child’s speech and social interaction. It can also
affect the child’s emotional behaviour, which can have an effect on the
child’s social skills.

11. This assignment is a great opportunity for me to gain knowledge about diversity as a
global citizen. This assignment also helps me finding out the way to tackle injustice and
inequality, and having needs and ability to work in diversity. Global citizenship is a way of
thinking and behaving, and also an outlook on life, a belief that we can make a difference.
In addition, it is about valuing the Earth as important and unique, and safeguarding the
future for those coming after us.
Being an immigrant, I have overcome cultural and language barriers myself. The recipient
of services I deliver to the community comes from the various socio-economic cultural
backgrounds. I have the unique ability to identify and accommodate their various needs.
For this reason I can service Delilah and her parents in such a way which is sustainable
and most appropriate.

Give instruction by realistic expectation, give more time to let children complete the activities, follow rules and routine in a group, use children interests to keep them participate, use picture in sequence help them to learn, provide opportunities to child to imitate and learn from her friends in a group setting, always reinforce a child after a task, for example, after completing tidy-up, say to the child, “Great job! You completed tidy-up.” Help child learn new skills to enhance enthusiasm and increase self-esteem. Use task analysis by breaking down a task into small steps and by forward and backward chaining; always listen to the child, repeat key words and phrases and new information frequently, maintain consistent and predictable routines, give attention and support before behaviours happen. Use prompting and fading teaching strategies by giving cues or hints to help a child perform a desired behaviour such as physical prompt hand over hand, modeling, a gestural prompt, a positional prompt, Use visual communication strategies to show child what is going to happen by using visual schedule, pointing the picture as we explain, gives child explanation before about the change use symbol photograph what coming next, for enhancing play skills gives child first use then visual, post class room rules, rules should be kept minimum, use positive wording, for safety concern areas use pictures only, helps child communicate with teacher and parents use visual offers choices, post pictures of toys that are out of reach so children can request parents and teachers to do in classroom tidy up, Put labels of picture such a way that the children can see them; also include name and photo of the object. The modification of physical environment: Adjust the surface for people who have difficulty for walking, such as non-slip surface; provide symbol photograph to define space, maintain traffic lanes free of clutter, needs lots of space, needs open-ended materials, materials that stimulate all the senses, use play boards for toy, large knobs on puzzles, use plestersine with pencil, tap the art paper with table, use rubber mat under the toy, equipment; toys need proper placing which can facilitate eye-hand coordination and improved motor control, provide modified activities to satisfy individual special needs based on age, provide circle or small group time and make a balance among quite an active songs and activities and try to remove distraction if any; support to use all sensory input as effectively as possible to maximize learning and facilitate development, keep the classroom organized and dependable. According to Vygotsky, ”Zone of proximal development: the difference between what children can do without the support of a more experienced caregiver and what the children can do with that support.” (Kail & Zolner, p. 248).

Reflection paper This assignment is a great opportunity for me to gain knowledge about diversity as a global citizen. This assignment also helps me finding out the way to tackle injustice and inequality, and having needs and ability to work in diversity. Global citizenship is a way of thinking and behaving, and also an outlook towards life, a belief that we can make a difference. In addition, it is about valuing the Earth as important and unique, and safeguarding the future for those coming after us. Being an immigrant, I have overcome cultural and language barriers by myself. The recipient of services I deliver to the community comes from various socio-economic cultural backgrounds. I have the unique ability to identify and accommodate their different needs. For this reason, I can serve Delilah and her parents in a sustainable and most appropriate way. I feel I can utilize my experience as an immigrant to serve the parents of the children requiring special attention. In fact, my initial weakness is an asset and becomes my strength to determine the needs of my clients and deliver the services according to their requirements. Another thing, it was very difficult to find the agency in the Greater Toronto Area, and also it took time to find a right agency. After completing the assignment, it improves my knowledge and find out lots of useful information about cerebral palsy. Through this assignment, I have an opportunity to practice how to identify and respond to the needs of the child and her family and learn various teaching strategies. In addition, through this assignment, I discover and research many agencies in Toronto area that support people with special needs. Moreover, in the future, practical experience of working and interacting at different levels with the children with special needs will be much more effective for me in learning and addressing the issues of these children and it will help me to use diversity and inclusion as an asset.
