Natural and Inclusive Learning Environments

Creating natural and inclusive learning environments is crucial in the field of developmental psychology and early intervention as it allows children to learn and grow in settings that resemble real-life situations. By providing environments that are familiar, comfortable, and inclusive of diverse abilities, we promote optimal development and participation for all children. In my practice, I would ensure that learning spaces are designed to be age-appropriate, accessible, and inclusive, incorporating materials and activities that cater to various developmental needs and abilities.

Parent Toddler Lesson Plan

During the Summer 2023 Parent-Toddler group practicum, we were placed and involved in applying Dr. Gerald Mahoney's responsive teaching strategies within the Parent-Toddler group at the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Clinic. Throughout our sessions with children and their parents, we received valuable and timely feedback on our utilization of these strategies. Following each session, we assessed our performance and that of a peer partner by filling out the Maternal Behavior Rating Scale (MBRS) based on video recordings. Additionally, we reflected on our personal comfort level in employing responsive teaching strategies through short journal entries after one session.

Rantia Sabbah-EI-Which DOT? Intervention.pdf

Which Dot?

Which Dot? is an intervention created for the Early Intervention Graduate Practicum course. It can be used by parents, teachers or caregivers to assist children in elementary school, specifically ages 5-7, identify their current feeling and help them ask for an action to be taken towards it.

Evidence-Based Practice

Implementing evidence-based practice is essential for ensuring that interventions and strategies used in developmental psychology and early intervention are grounded in scientific research and proven to be effective. By relying on evidence-based approaches, we can enhance the outcomes for children and families we work with. In my practice, I would stay updated with the latest research, critically evaluate interventions, and incorporate evidence-based strategies into my work, regularly assessing the effectiveness of my interventions.

Developmentally Appropriate Practice

Developmentally appropriate practice recognizes that children have unique needs and abilities at different stages of development. It emphasizes tailoring interventions and activities to match children's individual strengths, interests, and developmental levels. In the field of developmental psychology and early intervention, this approach is crucial for fostering optimal growth and learning. In my practice, I would assess each child's developmental stage, preferences, and abilities, and adjust my interventions and activities accordingly to ensure they are developmentally appropriate.

Family-Centered Approach

A family-centered approach acknowledges the critical role of families in a child's development and places them at the center of intervention and support. It recognizes that families are experts on their child and values their input, collaboration, and decision-making. By involving families in the intervention process, we can create meaningful and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, I would actively engage and collaborate with families, respect their perspectives, and involve them in goal-setting, intervention planning, and decision-making to ensure a family-centered approach.

Cultural Competence

Cultural competence is essential in the field of developmental psychology and early intervention to effectively work with diverse populations. It involves understanding and respecting the cultural, linguistic, and social backgrounds of children and families we serve. By considering cultural factors, we can provide interventions that are sensitive, relevant, and respectful of diverse values and beliefs. In my practice, I would continuously educate myself about different cultures, engage in ongoing self-reflection, and actively seek to understand and incorporate cultural considerations into my interventions.

Collaborative Team Process

The collaborative team process involves working collaboratively with professionals from various disciplines, as well as families, to provide comprehensive support and interventions. By pooling together expertise and perspectives, we can develop holistic and integrated intervention plans. In the field of developmental psychology and early intervention, collaboration is crucial for delivering coordinated and effective services. In my practice, I would actively participate in team meetings, communicate openly with colleagues and families, and contribute my expertise while respecting and valuing the contributions of others.

Merrick House

Through the EI Practicum and Collaborative Practicum course during my first semseter (Fall 2022), I was able to be a part of a team that worked with Merrick House. The course focuses on gaining inter-professional practice experiences from other students with different academic backgrounds, while also emphasizing the importance of the multidisciplinary work and interprofessional education and practices.
