Reflective curriculum planning process. Read the following information about Alan.

Alan is 6 months old and spends a lot of time lying on his back gazing at mobiles and toy bars. Alan is beginning to sit in a high chair and eating cereal. When he is sitting in the high chair he is often sitting slouched and leaning to the left. Alan smiles when adults sing to him and often responds by cooing. He engages with books for long periods of time. When Alan is placed on his tummy he is able to hold his head at a 90 degree angle for brief periods of time.

When encouraging Alan to push up lifting his chest off of the ground he quickly demonstrates frustration and lowers himself into prone position with his arms and legs extended. He is able to roll from prone to supine but not able to do the reverse. When placed in a sitting position he bends at the hips and falls forward into a prone position almost immediately.

Alan lives with his parents and grandparents and is currently an only child. The family has 4 dogs in the home and live in a single family home. Many nights Alan will sleep in bed with his grandparents. During the day Alan is typically being held or worn in a Mobi wrap by an adult.

Reflect on Alan's skill level. Using the ASQ-3 as your guide, describe where you see Alan being at developmentally. According to the ASQ-3, is his development on schedule, something to be monitored, or does he need further evaluation? Explain your answer.

Next, using the information from the question above, identify a classroom experience that might be used to support Alan's gross motor development within daily routines. Include examples of descriptive language you would use to encourage specific actions related to Alan's participation.
