Assignment

Part I

Razae is 12 months old and has been placed in foster care since he was four months old. He was prenatally exposed to drugs and was placed in foster care because of domestic violence in the home. Emma and Andrew are the young couple who are providing foster care for the first time. Razae is a very sweet, rambunctious boy who enjoys music and movement. He's also a great sleeper. Razae has learned how to walk, makes a variety of sounds, and is imitating others' language consistently. Based on developmental delays in several domains, Razae qualified for and is receiving home-based early intervention services. He was slow to attach to his foster parents but is now bonding through play and enjoying skin to skin contact and other attachment-based activities. These are areas that were goals in Razae's Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). He is thriving in this placement. Razae still visits his maternal grandmother and there is talk of placing him with her in the future. What steps can you take to support Rasae and his foster parents in the classroom? Be specific about how you can be involved n supporting goals established through his IFSP. Discuss with peers.

Case Study

Occasionally, he is seen sneaking food from his locker.
