Reflective practice & behaviour change
Professionals working with young children need to have an accurate picture of both the child’s and others’ skills in order to decide on the most effective support. Being able to carry out accurate observations of both child and caregiver in interactions is an essential part of this process.
Completing this activity links directly to the assessment task and will help you practice observing a child’s speech, language and communication skills and their interaction with a caregiver.
