Q3
The newest member of Miss Dorina’s preschool classroom is Taylor, who is three years old and full of life. Balls, cars, and anything that makes noise are favorite play things for him. Until recently, Taylor received early intervention services at home. He has made terrific progress since he was first diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, but he still has significant delays in receptive and expressive language and social-emotional development. When Taylor’s mother, father, and grandmother met with Miss Dorina last week, they mentioned that he sometimes has difficulty interacting with adults, expressing his needs or feelings, and connecting with other children because of his language delays. His family also shared that Taylor is usually eager to interact with the other children but does so in ways that may be too rough and frightening to them. Miss Dorina counts on Miss Laura, Taylor’s speech-language pathologist, for ideas about supporting Taylor within classroom routines. Still, she finds herself wondering: How can I make my classroom welcoming and supportive for Taylor? How can I help Taylor to make friends and play with his classmates? And how can we all work together in ways that support Taylor and all the other children, too?
NOTE: This persona is paired with Assessing Opportunities to Support Each Child: 12 Practices for Quality Inclusion, which appeared in the July 2019 issue of Young Children. The article shares episodes in the preschool life of Taylor and provides information about 12 evidence-based practices that Miss Dorina uses to support Taylor’s learning and development. How would you use the 12 evidence-based practices to address Ms. Donna’s concerns? Discuss with peers.
