Best practice #5: Be an attentive and empathetic listener. Best practice #6: Keep the meeting focused and on track . Best practice #7: Talk about the program’s supportive measures and next steps . Best practice #8: Make an appropriate referral and provide necessary resources or guidance. List three ways you can help yourself stay calm when someone else is displaying a strong emotion. Ensure that your response is both professional and considerate of a person who may be feeling a significant amount of stress. 1. **Practice Active Listening and Empathy 2. **Maintain a Calm Demeanor 3. **Encourage Self-Regulation Techniques Activity: Make a Referral? Read the following scenarios and determine the correct course of action. _____ You are screening a 10-month-old child. You have conducted four screenings over the past three weeks. You find that the child does not engage in play. Consider making a referral to an early intervention program or a developmental specialist to assess the child’s social and cognitive development. Early identification and intervention can be crucial in addressing developmental delays. _____You are screening a 14-month-old child for the first time, and despite your coaxing, he crawls to you instead of walking. In this scenario, crawling instead of walking at 14 months might not necessarily be a cause for immediate concern. However, it might be worth discussing with the parents and advising them to monitor the child’s development. Suggesting a follow-up screening or evaluation after a few months could be beneficial. _____ You are screening a child who has multiple injuries in several stages of healing and who appears depressed and anxious. Take the child’s disclosure seriously. As a mandated reporter, report this information to the appropriate child protective services or authorities immediately. Ensure the child’s safety and
well-being is prioritized. _____You are screening a four-year-old child who tells you her mother hit her on the back. Take the child’s disclosure seriously. As a mandated reporter, report this information to the appropriate child protective services or authorities immediately. Ensure the child’s safety and well-being is prioritized. _____You look at the child’s back and see a bruise. Given the presence of a physical sign (bruise) corresponding to the child’s statement of being hit, this strengthens the seriousness of the situation. As in the previous scenarios involving potential abuse, it’s critical to report this immediately to the appropriate authorities or child protective services. _____You are screening a six-month-old child who does not acknowledge your presence in any way. At six months, infants might have varying levels of social responsiveness. However, it’s essential to recommend a follow-up with a pediatrician or early childhood specialist to assess the child’s developmental milestones and social engagement.
