{Norsten, Michelle}07:05:04 pmWhat is a transient delay?
Hammerlund, Greta07:05:30 pma mild delay that will dissipate over time
Hudgens, Helen07:05:33 pmtransient delay is a delay that might be short lived
Blossom, Sarah07:05:38 pmA transient delay is a short term, mild delay that a child will likely grow out of or develop past, often with the help of support or therapy
{Norsten, Michelle}07:05:40 pmYes, Greta.
Nelson, Kelly07:05:41 pma delay that is expected to decrease over time
Carr, Rachel07:05:42 pma set back in a childs development
Larson, Julie07:05:52 pmtemporary or slight delay, that will eventually remedy itself with help or they will outgrow it
Fick, Susan07:05:55 pmA delay that, with interventions and support, a child will likely outgrow.
Kurth, Mandy07:06:19 pmA temporary delay in a child's development
{Norsten, Michelle}07:06:14 pmExactly, all well said. If a child comes down with an illness that lasts and it's hard for them to keep up.
Nowak, Jena07:06:15 pmA setback in child dev that will likely improve,
Bauch, Jessica07:06:27 pmDelay the child will most likely move forward in development with interventions, resources, and typical growth and development.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:06:28 pmHas anyone had personal experience with this?
Meyer, Michelle07:06:28 pma delay that the child will out grow, most likely
Carr, Rachel07:06:47 pmone of my little ones now is going through a speech delay
Nowak, Jena07:07:04 pm2 with speech delay in FCC
Nelson, Kelly07:07:04 pmYes. my middle child was a NICU baby. she reached most milestones a bit later than normal but caught up by age 2
Kurth, Mandy07:07:21 pmsame, speech delays
Fick, Susan07:07:12 pmI have a few with speech delays
Blossom, Sarah07:07:18 pmSame Rachel, we have students in speech therapy
{Norsten, Michelle}07:07:21 pmA good example of a case where support and intervention will help the child improve and grow out of.
Meyer, Michelle07:07:29 pmspeech
Hammerlund, Greta07:07:31 pmwe sometime regress (behaviorally) when there has been a change at home, for example a schedule change
Kurth, Mandy07:07:55 pmspeech therapy
{Norsten, Michelle}07:07:45 pmThank you for sharing Kelly.
Hudgens, Helen07:07:48 pmyes I have had a child that needed left handed scissors and then he picked it up very quickly.
Larson, Julie07:08:08 pmyes Greta. I see this a lot
{Norsten, Michelle}07:08:25 pmThat can actually be a hard thing to catch Helen. Glad that helped.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:08:50 pmAnd yes Greta-and sometimes parents don't share what is happening.
Hammerlund, Greta07:09:04 pmheads up tying shoes is different for a lefty too 🙂
{Norsten, Michelle}07:09:10 pmIt is good that you all provide a stable and consistent routine.

{Norsten, Michelle}07:09:54 pmHow would you use a child’s medical history in your program and lesson planning for them?
{Norsten, Michelle}07:10:40 pmYes Mandy, and sometimes the anticipation of a change coming. Those that are starting kindergarten may be starting to visit their classrooms now and get a little anxiety over the upcoming and unknown change.
Nowak, Jena07:10:50 pmModify it
Blossom, Sarah07:10:59 pmIf a child has chronic ear infections, they may have hearing problems or speech delays, so I would consider that when planning lesson delivery. Such as including more visuals, calling attention to how I’m saying words, and having the child sit closer to the speaker. If the child was premature or ill as an infant, they may have social emotional delays due to isolation in the NICU, so I would build in ways to support their interactions with other children.
Larson, Julie07:11:03 pmtake what the parent tells me and adapt any way I can.. in routine or modify things
Hammerlund, Greta07:11:12 pmthere may be a special diet needed, adaptive tools, need more time to accomplish a task
Kurth, Mandy07:11:29 pmif a child has mobility issues- adaptive gross motor things
Hudgens, Helen07:11:28 pmThat would depend on the medical history. Adapt to changing what is best for the child
Nelson, Kelly07:11:35 pmI would adapt if needed. communication with parents is key also
{Norsten, Michelle}07:11:37 pmLots of good points and attention to detail.
Fick, Susan07:11:36 pmUse the information to adapt my instruction
Carr, Rachel07:11:42 pmspecial diet, child born early that may cause delays to plan for, etc.
Kurth, Mandy07:12:00 pmAllergies: Identifying food allergies would require careful attention to snacks and mealtimes, ensuring allergen-free options are available.
Bauch, Jessica07:11:55 pmWe can identify health issues, plan for special needs and create a safe environment.
Nelson, Kelly07:12:03 pmI agree with what Sarah mentioned....using visual aids can be huge
{Norsten, Michelle}07:12:17 pmHow you speak, what you use as props or adding things to the classroom that would help the particular student. It will more than likely help everyone too.
Carr, Rachel07:12:16 pmagreed
Meyer, Michelle07:12:23 pmPlace the child near the teacher, if helpful, modify plns to ensure success, provide tool to help with success
Blossom, Sarah07:12:33 pmYes, Mandy- I have a separate snack supply for my class because of allergies.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:12:43 pmGreat ideas!
{Norsten, Michelle}07:12:58 pmAnd communication!

{Norsten, Michelle}07:13:43 pmDescribe how physical, social emotional, speech and cognitive development can be impacted by hospital stays or medical interventions. What can you do to mitigate these factors for improved development?
Nowak, Jena07:14:57 pmMissed days for learning, a tutor or a therapist
Nelson, Kelly07:14:58 pmany prolonged isolation, such as a hospital stay, can cause delays. being aware of the situation and adapting is key
Larson, Julie07:15:05 pmmay be behins in large motor.. and used to being around peers. encourage them to particpipate in our usual routine, be positive and encouraging, show lots of love and support
Bauch, Jessica07:15:15 pmLimit opportunities for natural movement, play, exploration and social interactions. Create predictable, sensory-rich environment, use visual aids, and encourage positive interactions.
Carr, Rachel07:15:13 pmhospital stays may impact their play, social interaction and so on
Kurth, Mandy07:15:39 pmmissing school for prolong period of time
Blossom, Sarah07:15:27 pmIsolation from siblings and lack of physical touch can be a result of a stay in the NICU. These can cause social-emotion delays. Work with the famliy, build into the lesson ways to connect and support the child
Hammerlund, Greta07:15:28 pmIve seen hospital stays have a huge impact on a child, separation issues, loss of large muscle, anxiety over their general health, it affects so much
{Norsten, Michelle}07:15:52 pmA tutor is a great idea. And sometimes if there is an extended medical stay in a hospital, the school district will help and send one.
Fick, Susan07:15:52 pmThese different areas of development can be impacted because the child is not in the environments where physical, cognitive, social emotional growth would be supported
Hudgens, Helen07:15:57 pmAll of those developmental milestones might be delayed due to hospital stays. Send board books, coloring and writing tools with plenty of paper for continued craft time fun. Use visual aids and songs,
{Norsten, Michelle}07:16:15 pmGood point Greta on the loss of large muscle, so much is impacted.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:16:55 pmI like how you point out Sarah that it is important to work with the families. Lack of physical touch can really have lasting impacts.
Carr, Rachel07:17:03 pmgoof ideas Helen
Meyer, Michelle07:17:06 pmThese things could lead to anxiety, lack of social interaction, fear of outdoors, communicate with parents and extra support
Carr, Rachel07:17:06 pmgood
{Norsten, Michelle}07:17:11 pmWell stated Susan.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:17:43 pmThere can definitely be a lot of fears Michelle, that extra support and communication is so important.
Nelson, Kelly07:17:43 pmI think it's important to note when the hospital stay or medical intervention took place....the first few years of a child development sets the foundation for his/her future. recognizing that and intervening early is vital
{Norsten, Michelle}07:18:12 pmSo much to be said for early intervention Kelly. Educating families on this is helpful too.

{Norsten, Michelle}07:18:51 pmWhat is your role in the referral process under IDEA?
Blossom, Sarah07:19:21 pmI am responsible for observing and documenting to gain a broad understanding of the child's development across developmental areas.
Larson, Julie07:19:42 pmto communicate with families of infats and toddlers who may have a developmental delay, and give support, and refer if needed
Bauch, Jessica07:19:53 pmIdentify potential delays early, collaborate with parents, and implement pre-referral interventions.
Carr, Rachel07:19:56 pmwe are the ones that are responsible for working with families and the professionals when it comes to getting the child help
Nelson, Kelly07:19:59 pmAs a childcare provider, I am expected to adhere to every child's needs, regardless of ability
Hudgens, Helen07:20:05 pmIt is our responsibility as one of the child's first teacher to observe, document and provide information/communication to families and give support and as much information as possible
Kurth, Mandy07:20:28 pmidentifying a student who may have a delay in childhood milestones- backed up by documentation
Carr, Rachel07:20:19 pmtrying our best to create inclusive enviroments
Fick, Susan07:20:21 pmI am responsible for communicating any observations of student development
Hammerlund, Greta07:20:29 pmcommunicate to parents if we see a potential delay, inform them of the resources available to them. Make a referral if necessary
{Norsten, Michelle}07:20:34 pmYou all have a lot of knowledge on this and know your part.
Nowak, Jena07:20:37 pmO serve & Document and reach out to the district
Nowak, Jena07:20:48 pmObserve
Meyer, Michelle07:21:04 pmStay in communication, document and monitor progress, provide support to child for success
{Norsten, Michelle}07:21:10 pmMost of you are mentioning documentation and observation. Both critical in the start of the process.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:21:34 pmI like how you point out Rachel-creating an inclusive environment.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:22:18 pmAnd supporting the child. Great ideas. Also, sometimes the families need support as well and don't know how to act or who to turn to.

Nelson, Kelly07:22:48 pmmay be a bit off topic, but I have a child that I believe would benefit from early intervention due to milestone delays, specifically in regards to speech...the parents are not on board. As a licensed daycare provider, what are my options? am I allowed to make a referral without parent approval?
{Norsten, Michelle}07:23:23 pmThanks for asking Kelly. Has anyone had experience with this?
Hammerlund, Greta07:23:27 pmKelly, im in the same boat...parents dont see the delay
Blossom, Sarah07:24:20 pmHow old are they? Early Childhood Screening if the child is 3
{Norsten, Michelle}07:24:31 pmI would contact Center for Inclusive Childcare, I believe they can set up an observation. Also, I would emphasize to the family that speech is something a child will grow out of and if caught early (now) it makes kindergarten so much easier!
Nelson, Kelly07:24:56 pmhe's 2.5. september birthday. he drools constantly and doesn't say any words...he mumbles sounds but not distinct words
Hammerlund, Greta07:25:22 pmis he sick a lot?
Hudgens, Helen07:25:31 pmI actually see more and more parents worried about a delay that is not there. I feel many parents are pressured and worried their children are not on track and I have to show them time and time again how their children are doing very well. I worry there is a lot of pressure on families to have super smart children before kindergarten
Nelson, Kelly07:25:35 pmwith the drool i'm concerned it's neurological
Nelson, Kelly07:25:39 pmno, he is not ill often
{Norsten, Michelle}07:25:47 pmKelly, you can also contact the ECSE program with your district, while I don't believe they will let you refer, you can ask questions and they have lots of helpful advice.
Nelson, Kelly07:26:14 pmgreat, thank you! sorry for the tangent! i appreciate the input
{Norsten, Michelle}07:26:20 pmThat sounds like more than a speech delay.
Nowak, Jena07:26:31 pmAgree
{Norsten, Michelle}07:26:34 pmI would ask them to ask their doctor at a check up too.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:26:53 pmSurely, that stands out as a red flag at a wellness check up.
Nelson, Kelly07:27:02 pmgood idea. dad is a bit hard to deal with so i'm treading lightly
{Norsten, Michelle}07:27:11 pmI am glad you asked!
Nelson, Kelly07:27:17 pmthank you!
{Norsten, Michelle}07:27:21 pmAnd sometimes that happens!
Hammerlund, Greta07:27:23 pmit isnt an easy topic
Carr, Rachel07:27:26 pmugh that is so tough when the parents are not on the same page
{Norsten, Michelle}07:27:35 pmSpeaking with parents in that regard never is.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:27:54 pmDo you document Kelly?

{Norsten, Michelle}07:28:23 pmI will keep us moving, but feel free to add to this or ask questions.
Nowak, Jena07:28:25 pm*
Fick, Susan07:28:24 pm*
{Norsten, Michelle}07:28:30 pmâ—Ź Discuss family stress as a factor in transient delays. How is this an influence on specific developmental domains? How can you intervene on the behalf of a child whose parents are experiencing stressors?
{Norsten, Michelle}07:29:02 pmKeep your documentation. Help Me Grow and Center for Inclusive Childcare are VERY helpful if you're struggling with the parents.
Kurth, Mandy07:29:38 pmThe child might be at risk for having learning and behavior problems
Nelson, Kelly07:30:05 pmI often think of Maslow's hierarchy of needs in regards to development. if basic needs of a child are not met, then they might experience a transient delay
Blossom, Sarah07:30:07 pmStress at home may result in reduced parent-child quality time, like fewer stories told, fewer conversations, less play. That could impact speech and communication or social-emotional wellness.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:30:21 pmExactly! A divorce, move, death. A child may not be completely aware of what is going on but they can pick up on stress.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:30:39 pmActing out is very common.
Hammerlund, Greta07:30:40 pmi see parents who are often rushed with busy lives, often not giving the child the chance to transition easily, or do tasks themselves. Also, kids pick up on adults who are stressed.
Carr, Rachel07:30:40 pmagree Sarah
Nowak, Jena07:30:45 pmI agree!
Larson, Julie07:31:02 pmsocial-emotional might have behavior issues? i can keep some consistatncy in their life. keep their normal routine, show lots of extra attention
{Norsten, Michelle}07:31:13 pmExactly, not giving them enough time. Everything and everyone is always in a rush. It can be hard to keep up.
Bauch, Jessica07:31:30 pmParents may not be available for reading, storytelling or other activities that promote engagement and growth. Early interventions help child make developmental gains they might have otherwise missed.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:31:31 pmExtra attention is great Julie. That can be hard to do too!
Fick, Susan07:31:32 pmI agree with these examples, too. As teachers we can add extra support in certain domains.
Hudgens, Helen07:31:35 pmFamily stress can lead to family not seeing what might be causing a transient delay in their child. Socialy they may act up and show more behavior issues. Continue to encourage possitive social-emotional skills and read books about friends, play games with friends in small group settings and large group settings. Continue to provide one-on-one with love and support as much as possible
Meyer, Michelle07:31:43 pmAnxiety can affect development. Provide stability
Blossom, Sarah07:31:46 pmI try to maintain relationships with caregivers. I do what I can to reduce stress on my end. I have one family going through a lot of loss and grief. I work with the family to ensure the child in my care has what they need and can continue to attend.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:32:10 pmVery true Helen, kind of turning a blind eye in a way.
Nowak, Jena07:32:14 pmThat’s very caring Sarah!
Nelson, Kelly07:32:14 pmI do the same, Sarah. Being that extra support is super helpful sometimes
{Norsten, Michelle}07:32:34 pmThat's great Sarah. I am sure the family appreciates it.

{Norsten, Michelle}07:33:12 pm What is your role in an IFSP or IEP? Have you been part of the team in the past? Challenges and successes? What made it work for you and the family?
Nelson, Kelly07:33:53 pmI do not have personal experience with this. I hold a C2 license, so my group is younger than school age
Larson, Julie07:34:06 pmI have not
Hammerlund, Greta07:34:19 pmI have a child currently in speech therapy, after a session mom sends me a text with the activities they are working on so that I can do the same tasks here.
Bauch, Jessica07:34:29 pmInformal assessment of child's developmental progress through observation and recording. I have not been part of a team.
Blossom, Sarah07:34:27 pmI implement what the IEP states and work with the SPED team to ensure that the recommended supports are in place. I've worked with IEPs and the teams many times
Carr, Rachel07:34:29 pmI am the same license too Kelly so I have not had any experience with this either
{Norsten, Michelle}07:34:38 pmAn IFSP is for younger children, under age 3.
Hudgens, Helen07:34:43 pmA teachers role is to help follow the IEP plan with open-communication with families. I have not had a child with either of these plans
Nowak, Jena07:34:46 pmI have not had experience yet either, I run a FCC
Kurth, Mandy07:35:29 pmIEP children older then 3
Fick, Susan07:35:19 pmMy role is to be present at meetings follow the IEP, and provide insight on the child's classroom time. As a previous elementary classroom teacher, I have been to many IEPs. But no IFSPs yet. It can always be challenging when parents are not on board with plans.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:35:55 pmThe IFSP is written with the family in mind with more broad goals, once the child reaches age 3 it is an IEP which typically follows the child into elementary school.
Fick, Susan07:35:57 pmIts always a great feeling when the team can discuss the goals children have met and can move on from 🙂
Larson, Julie07:36:00 pmhave not had that either. but if there was, I would work with the family and help where needed. try to follow what they are doing at home
Meyer, Michelle07:36:02 pmI have not had experience with an IEP. A teacher implements the plan
Kurth, Mandy07:36:20 pmIt's a written plan that outlines the services and supports a family and child with disabilities or developmental delays
{Norsten, Michelle}07:36:37 pmAnd an IFSP is an Individualized Family Service Plan, I feel like this one is not discussed as often.
Kurth, Mandy07:37:12 pmIt's a legal document
{Norsten, Michelle}07:37:02 pmI am glad you have experience to share Susan.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:38:01 pmIt sounds like some of you have experience in aiding families if needed or attending meetings if needed. Keeping communication and working with the child while in your care will help them meet their goals.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:38:34 pmAnd if you have not had experience, maybe at some point in the future you will!

Hudgens, Helen07:40:24 pmAges and Stages are what is typical development for that age range. I use Teaching Strategies Gold and ongoing observation and documentation
Nelson, Kelly07:40:31 pmI am still learning how to implement those tools in my daycare setting. I'm interested in learning more!
Larson, Julie07:40:32 pmI use the redleaf press family childcare curriculum development assessement booklets for my family child care. I do the observations. I do not send it home for parents to fill out
{Norsten, Michelle}07:40:39 pmQuick side note, I think it's important to communicate to families that having an early screening is beneficial, right around 3. Some families wait, hoping their child will score highter.

Fick, Susan07:40:51 pmThe teachers at my school track observations of developmental milestones online. We can monitor each child's growth in the different areas and use the info to inform our practices and plans. Also we use early childhool screenings.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:41:31 pmThe Red Leaf Assessment is very detailed. Do you share the info to families Julie?
Meyer, Michelle07:42:06 pmYes, I find most of my parents wait to do screening. I always encourage them to do it sooner.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:42:18 pmExactly, Jessica. We want to find developmental delays early if possible.
Hammerlund, Greta07:42:21 pmI had a very young parent interview today and she's a little concerned about her childs development, when we get done here i plan to send her the questionnaire link so she can exactly where they are at.
{Norsten, Michelle}07:42:43 pmThat's great Greta, hopefully the family utilizes it.
Larson, Julie07:42:48 pmi don't share the document, but I do use to to discuss celebrations and any issues I notice
