Rough Draft of Final Project
For this week’s assignment, you will develop a rough draft outline for your Final Project in Week 5. Looking ahead and starting to think about a language and cognition intervention plan will help you be successful later in the course. This assignment can be developed in outline form but the more detail you provide, the more feedback your instructor will be able to provide you.
o prepare for your assignment:
- Please refer to the Week 3 Guidance for further tips and examples that will support your success on this assignment.
- Review the ECD 320: Week 3 Assignment Template Download ECD 320: Week 3 Assignment Templatefor assistance in creating your assignment.
- Review the ECD 320 Case Studies Download ECD 320 Case Studies. These case studies are an example as you will need to create your own case study in the assignment.
Develop your Intervention Plan Outline addressing the following requirements:
- Professional Role and Philosophy:
- Describe your current or future role as an early childhood development professional.
- Include the setting and age level that you will be working with in your specific role.
- Describe the theoretical framework that most aligns with your professional philosophy of cognitive and language development in diverse learners. Refer back to Week 1 Theories of Language Development and Week 2 Theories of Cognitive and Language Development discussions for support.
- Case Study:
- Develop a Case Study including a summary of the child’s strengths, in all developmental areas.
- Develop a summary of the child’s challenges including specifics on their cognitive or language delay or disorder. Include a specific description of what the child can and cannot do. Be sure to include specific developmental milestones in functional performance of how the student’s disability or disorder affects his/her involvement and progress in the general educational setting. Refer back to Week 3 Language Development Milestones discussion for support.
- Goals:
- List one short-term goal that you could develop for the child. Visit the All Developmental Milestones: Guide to Baby’s Speech and Language DevelopmentLinks to an external site. for identifying one area that you could enhance to help support the child’s language and cognitive development, then develop one short-term goal. An example of a goal might be, “A vocabulary goal for [Child’s Name] will be to identify three colors using words (red, blue, green) by [Insert date].
- List one long-term goal that you could develop for the child. Visit the Pathways Milestones checklist for identifying one area that you could enhance to help support the child’s language and cognitive development. An example of a goal might be, “A conversation goal for [Child’s Name] will be to have two back-and-forth dialogs with another child by [Insert date].
- Proposed Intervention:
- Explain at least two intervention strategies you may implement to help support the child’s language and cognitive development. Include a rationale for each strategy.
- If necessary, include specific resources you will utilize to support her/his growth.
- You will be exposed to additional interventions in the upcoming weeks of the course.

Case study 1
Reece aged 2 years 6 months is having trouble putting words together to make sentences. You have noticed that he is not combining words and seems to only copy words and phrases from other children in the group. He is not producing words spontaneously. The words Reece does use are not always pronounced correctly. Reece only recently started care in your program, and at the time of enrolment there was no mention of Reece having been diagnosed with a hearing loss, developmental delay or syndrome in which language might be affected. Reece’s parents are fluent in English, and you know English is the family’s primary language.
Case study 2
Kim, who is currently 36 months of age, began your program at age 17 months. Kim has functional receptive language skills and routinely follows 2-3 step directions. She knows the names of her toys, colors, and various household objects. Kim uses 2-3 word phrases, expresses her wishes and dislikes with both words and gestures. Her pronunciation has not kept up with the vocabulary she tries to use. Kim tantrums 1-3 times daily when she cannot communicate her desires, especially to her classmates, since Kim is very motivated to play with them. Kim both initiates and reciprocates play interactions with adults and other children. She picks up and hands others books to read or toys to play with. She needs a lot of adult facilitation and direction to imitate what the other children are doing. She loves making noises and shaking noisy toys. She laughs easily and cries when frustrated.”
Case study 3
Phillip is Kara’s quiet eight-month-old son. Recently, Kara noticed that Phillip doesn’t seem to respond when she calls his name. Kara asked her own mother about this, and after talking and playing with Phillip for a while they realized that he was also not making the babbling sounds, such as “ba-ba-ba” or “da-da-da,” that most infants tend to do. Kara and her mother spoke more about the situation, and Kara did remember that Phillip had failed the newborn hearing screening at the hospital where he was born; however, Kara had not been too concerned about his hearing because he did seem to react to noises sometimes and that he had startled to the sound of a pot falling to the floor a few nights before. Kara’s mother suggested they take Phillip to an audiologist.
