Assessing Children’s Health through Play

Overview:

In this assignment, you will be using what you have learned in this unit by planning a fun

play activity for young children that might also give a ‘heads up’ in assessing for one or

more of the health problems or disorders such as issues in vision, hearing, speech and

language, or motor ability.

Instructions:

Using the attached template, create your play activity. You will address each point

completely. Consult the attached sample for any questions you may have on the

assignment. You will need to include the following:

• Identify the target child’s age and what areas are being assessed?

• How can the activity be replicated in the home?

• What observations would indicate the need for further screening or referral?

• Use Blooms Taxonomy and list the action verbs to help you with your lesson

objectives.
