Case study on Child Development Services

Case-Study: 3 Ana

Ana is 6-year old girl. She is diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome so, she has developmental delay, intellectual disabilities, severe speech impairment and problems with movement. Ana has a diagnosis of dysphagia which affects her feeding and swallowing pattern and she is already underweight for her Age and height, so Anas mother has concerns about that because due to her feeding difficulty she is not able to take food by herself and she takes more time for lunch and dinner so her mother wants special services like Day-care programe which provide good support with this nutritional problem. Anas parents are also worried about the school system because the school system will not be accommodating or transportation, so they are finding the day-care French services nearer school. There are four major section in which she wants needs including speech limitations, feeding difficulties & poor nourishment, day-care services and French services.

There are number of agencies work for children with developmental disabilities. So, as a DSW I expect to find out to outlet of the services which helpful to her in this difficulty. In this case, Anas mother contacts me on her behalf and I find out some agencies which assist to her in her well- being. Here I explain about 8- agencies in detail which helpful to Ana in her disabilities.

child development institute (CDI)Which is located in Don mills, North York (childdevelop.ca (2005). I prioritize this Agency as per Anas requirement. Jennifer is the example of child developmental institute worker. She stated that, this child care consultation services provide support children under the age of 12 years with extra support needs in licensed child care and early learning. Collaboration is the key and child development is core value for this service. They provide francophone services for child development and Anas mother also want this type of services which provide in French language (canpages.ca (2018).

There are some criteria for services, keep the consent before giving any services to the child, make referrals for speech, consultation and play for child, referral for child care psychological consultation. Make referral for funding& additional charges for Child services. CDI works in close partnership with Toronto Childrens services to support and promote an inclusive child care system (ourkids.net (2018). Continuing development of Screening tool &encourage parents to use this tool and face to face communicate with parents. Child development institute highlights the need of the child. Child development institute works for children under 12 years and they provide francophone services so, Anas mother can take benefit for her in her well-being.

There is the number of ways by which early childhood consultation and intensive resource support facilitates the inclusion of child: assessing the child care programs, providing information on various topics, assisting with the transition of school, they work with the families, community and professionals to develop, monitor and evaluate the plan that is based on childs strength and support needs for both home and community program. Providing access to specialized supports, such as Behaviour Management Consultation. This service could even assist the Anas mother as she transitions as that impacts the needs of Ana as well.
