It is vitally important for anyone who wants to work with children with Autism be aware of how ‘Autism’ is for their clients. The ‘Autism’ world can feel like a literal sensory minefield for those who have this condition and this can mean that day to day living can be confronting, frustrating and difficult. The consultant’s role is to make life more manageable and provide strategies that will assist clients who are on the Autism Spectrum to negotiate day to day living, as well as providing the best training for them to reach their potential.

3. Homelessness is a term given to any one in society
having no stable and safe place to reside in, no place
of comfort, or no roof over their head.
4. Children are our future generation. They have the right to
get good care. We believe that every child has the right to
live in a secure, safe, warm, and healthy environment.
Many children sleep on streets, in unhealthy places, in
crowded rooms, or in vehicles. They should have a
specific place to live where they can properly develop
their physical, emotional, cognitive, social and
behavioural developments. We believe that ECEs can
take some action plans to support them solving the
problems of homelessness for children. We want to
create awareness among all stakeholders through
presenting with comprehensive scenarios.
6. Personal risk factors:
Mental illness
Substance abuse
Family violence
Incarceration
Foster care
7. Our Research Plan
•Who are the homeless?
•What are the reasons for homelessness?
•What are the impacts of this issue on
children, family, and society?
•What are the resources that can help to solve
this problem?
•How can ECEs help the homeless people?
8. What are the effects on
Children?
Homeless children often get sicker than
children living at homes.
Homeless children are often irregular at
school attendance
Sometimes they are neglected and
bullied by their peer
9. Continued…
Academic performances of homeless
children are hampered by their poor cognitive
development
Circumstances of homelessness, such as
having no permanent address, declines
school performances
Homeless children get poor scores on
mathematics, reading, spelling, and
vocabulary tests
10. •Homeless families experience general rejection or
discrimination from other people, and face loss of
usual relationships with the mainstream families
•They experience reduced access to health care and
dental services
•Homeless parents struggle to get jobs, access to
banking services, and access to communications
technology
•Keeping contacts is challenging without a stable
location or mailing address
What are the effects on
families?
11. •Homeless parents cannot provide appropriate
support to their children and cannot meet basic needs
of their family
•Lack of childcare and employment opportunities
cause frustration and reduction of energy for
parenting
•Homeless parents feel frustrated with inconsistent
parenting results, and unpredictable consequences
for negative behaviours or unfulfilled rewards for
positive behaviours of their children
What are the effects on
families?
12. Supporting the parents with information about
food, shelter, cloths etc.
Observing and understanding the children’s
stress level
As educators, ECEs can be more patient to meet
children’s need
ECEs need to make the environment trustworthy
so that homeless children feel secured
13. We arranged a baking sale in our college compound
to raise money for homeless people, and donated the
collected money to homeless people through
Neighbourhood Link
Secondly, we made flyers to create awareness among
people. We put up these flyers in the college, and
other public places. We, group members, distributed
the flyers in our respective communities
Our third approach was to buy food and to donate to
the homeless people. We donated at the homeless
shelter called Dixon Hall at 2714 Danforth Ave.

18. Street Needs Assessment 2013
City of Toronto conducted a city-wide survey
on April 17, 2013.
“The intent of the Street Needs Assessment is
to provide information and data that will be
useful to policymakers looking to ensure that
funding decisions reflect what homeless
people say are the services they need to end
their homelessness and remain in permanent
housing.”
19. In your opinion, what is the main cause of
homelessness at Canada?
How could we create awareness to help
homeless people?
What do you think about the effect of
homelessness on children?
How could we help homeless children as an
ECE?
20. Our team members eagerly want to do
volunteering for homeless people at
neighborhood link after our exam
We’ll volunteer City of Toronto programs for
homeless peoples and street needs
We’ll encourage our family to donate for
homeless at their own capacity
