  1. Hello. My name is WAFA educator from the unit ethical
  2. futures at Western Sydney University.
  3. Today I will be discussing the issue of the lack
  4. of support for Children with behavioral needs in early childhood
  5. settings. The reason I have decided to focus on the
  6. behavioral needs issue is because having relatives, behavioral needs and
  7. working in the tutoring center has allowed me to see
  8. that there is a lack of appropriate support from their
  9. educators which has caused these Children to not be able
  10. to scribe and their behaviors can have a negative effect
  11. on everyone involved which includes a child while the other
  12. Children and the staff.
  13. So what does the current educational policy state the New
  14. South Wales government department recognizes that young Children with disabilities
  15. and additional learning and support needs require additional assistance before
  16. entering school.
  17. The New South Wales department employs a criteria to determine
  18. their eligibility for additional support in early intervention resource support
  19. and classes.
  20. This department also includes the resource availability.
  21. Despite the fact that the criteria mentions a variety of
  22. disabilities such as physical intellectual hearing and so on.
  23. There is no mention of behavioral needs.
  24. The current policy are stated in the early years.
  25. Learning framework takes into account the learning abilities and disabilities
  26. in understanding that Children have a strong sense of identity
  27. outcome. One states that Children have a strong sense of
  28. identity. Children feel safe, secure and supported.
  29. Staff must acknowledge each child's uniqueness in a positive way
  30. and provide Children with strategies to make informed choices about
  31. their behaviors.
  32. Staff also need to understand that Children communicate their needs
  33. for comfort and assistance.
  34. So what are the issues with the current educational policy?
  35. During my research, I discovered that the current policy had
  36. a number of issues.
  37. I would argue that policies at their most basic level
  38. expressed what a government intends to do or not do
  39. about an issue.
  40. Whereas support and inclusivity of frequently mentioned as standby power
  41. policies at the most fundamental level express what the government
  42. intends to do or not do about an issue as
  43. such a policy invents issues that become policy problems.
  44. Despite the fact that there is support as stated in
  45. the new South Wales government policy and the early years
  46. learning framework, there is still a lack of specific information
  47. about behavioral needs, behavioral issues are frequently misunderstood as simply
  48. bad behavior on the part of the child.
  49. But there is, there are a variety of factors that
  50. influence their behavior, such as environment routine or even the
  51. way educators communicate with the child.
  52. How well discussed is the lingering effect that challenging behaviors
  53. can have on their care and preschool placements disrupt family
  54. functioning and affect their growth in social, emotional and other
  55. developmental domains as the child's needs are not addressed correctly,
  56. it becomes an ethical concern when the child then the
  57. Children's needs are not met properly.
  58. Furnace to others is how the concept of justice is
  59. defined. If the child is unable to receive the support,
  60. they require.
  61. Staff must promote common interests and make decisions in a
  62. fair manner.
  63. They are not receiving an equal opportunity to gain vital
  64. education, which is also relevant in the concept of beneficial
  65. educators, decisions must have a beneficial impact on all Children
  66. at the center.
  67. This will be impossible to achieve if the educator is
  68. not properly equipped to assist Children with democratic behavior issues.
  69. According to Sawyer.
  70. It favors ideals of equity and equality.
  71. The goal of education is to promote equity, social justice
  72. and better public life.
  73. These ethical ideas will not be realized if staff and
  74. Children are not supported.
  75. What does literature and research say.
  76. Scholars in my research frequently stressed the need of assistance
  77. in schools as well as the fact that behavioral issues
  78. are a serious problem that must be addressed in the
  79. reading by being what it is discussed.
  80. How parents who approach professionals with concerns about their Children's
  81. behavior may have been told that it was natural for
  82. young Children to have challenging behaviors.
  83. But later studies found that if these issues were not
  84. addressed early on, later challenges would be difficult to overcome.
  85. Pesetas goes on to state that this sparked an interest
  86. in researching young Children's mental health as well as approaches
  87. to manage problematic behaviors and potentially prevent subsequent cognitive impairment,
  88. developmental difficulties and social emotional adjustment concerns.
  89. This is also discussed in powers.
  90. Reading that as public awareness of these issues grow, it
  91. will be increasingly important for teachers.
  92. Caregivers and parents to promote and adopt a systematic evidence
  93. based approach.
  94. What all these wings have in common is the importance
  95. of education, particularly in foundations of preschools and early learning
  96. sentence sentence where issues such as behavioral problems can have
  97. a significant negative impact.
  98. These researchers discovered that early intervention is critical for a
  99. good shift to occur and for the kids to have
  100. equal educational possibilities which leads to feasible solutions that leads
  101. us to the question, how can this issue be dealt
  102. with while there is a wealth of useful information available
  103. on the internet, acquiring it and learning about this topic
  104. takes several weeks and many hours to ensure that the
  105. child receives the aid they require from educators as soon
  106. as feasible.
  107. Resource, this is must be easily available and supplied as
  108. soon as possible based on research suggestions, they are explains
  109. a three step approach for positive attention for all students
  110. as well as how to create a naturally positive reinforcing
  111. classroom and their behavior intervention plan.
  112. This is an example of a strategy that can be
  113. executed to help a child with behavioral issues thrive by
  114. providing them with a good routine.
  115. My plan is heavily influenced by the research I conducted
  116. throughout the project as well as concepts I'd like to
  117. see adopted in the future.
  118. As I continued to work in the center to begin
  119. behavioral needs must be identified and policies must be implemented.
  120. It was I was unable to locate official documents covering
  121. behavioral needs issues and disabilities.
  122. Thus this must be mentioned explicitly in order to ensure
  123. inclusion and justice.
  124. Secondly, resources must be easily accessible, accessible, although there is
  125. a lot of documentation available, it can be difficult to
  126. locate. I suggest that the government make these resources readily
  127. available to all centers when they are needed.
  128. An assessment of inappropriate situation should be done sooner rather
  129. than later and an additional needs person should be given
  130. when necessary or educators would benefit from training as well.
  131. Many educators are incapable or unaware of what to do
  132. in the case of a behavioral needs child, thus training
  133. ahead of time or resolve the issue.
  134. An example from the United States of America found in
  135. Powell's reading is the use of support of a support
  136. triangle, which is used in many schools in the United
  137. States based on the public health concept, it offers prevention
  138. intervention measures that benefit all students in the classroom.
  139. Once again putting justice and beneficial at the forefront.
  140. Finally, behavior needs must be recognized as extra needs that
  141. must be met by giving adequate resources, training and support
  142. to all chilled childhood centers in the early learning center,
  143. each child will have an equal opportunity to feel safe,
  144. secure and supported.
  145. We need to stop families and Children from taking risks
  146. as democratic citizens by instilling a sense of purpose in
  147. their engagement and collaboration.
  148. This allows the family and their child or Children to
  149. get the most out of the preschool education and care
  150. by appreciating and working alongside the child.
  151. As a citizen, families may work out problems in a
  152. fair and ethical manner if they are given equal opportunity.
  153. As a result, justice will have a huge positive impact
  154. on the risk of their schooling recognizing behavioral needs as
  155. a serious problem is the first step towards seeking adequate
  156. support. If this is accomplished, the child will get the
  157. most out of their early life experience, but offering equitable
  158. opportunity, which not only allows a child to grow but
  159. also has a beneficial impact on the other Children and
  160. educators, resulting in an ethical atmosphere for all parties involved.
  161. Thank you.
