Answer to Question 1

As much as possible, it is important to accept how families from different cultures care for their children with chronic health conditions. It is crucial to keep lines of communication open and to remove language as a barrier. If the parent and the teacher cannot speak the same language, it is important to get an interpreter. The IFSP or the IEP may provide those services for both the family and the early childhood education environment. In general, communication is a vital link uniting all segments of the team effort. It is useful for both the teacher and the family to look at their own differences. They may have different communication styles, and they may process information differently. Useful strategies may come from understanding the various perspectives. This will enable families to appreciate their differences and to empathize with their child who is also different in his or her own way. The teacher should recognize that supporting the whole family is an essential element of helping a child.

Answer to Question 2

Typical AD/HD behaviors include difficulty in focusing or giving close attention to school work and being easily distracted by the environment. Children with AD/HD have a hard time following directions, listening, transitioning from one activity to another, and organizing materials and work time. These children have a hard time waiting turns, sitting still, and remaining quiet.
