Adapting Your Environment for Children with ASTHMA *8*SUTQ-Approved***
Likely you have, or will have, a child in your care who has asthma. Do you know how to help that child avoid having asthma episodes, and what to do if an episode occurs? This workshop gives you the information and resources you need to provide excellent care for a child with asthma. After attending this session, over 50% of people who care for children with asthma report seeing an improvement in the child's symptoms. See what a difference you can make!
For this workshop, you will get an "Indoor Air Quality" checklist and other publications from the American Lung Association, books you can share with your children, a DVD with one-minute asthma-action videos, Asthma Action Plan and Daily Progress Report forms, 2 ODJFS in-service hours.
ORTL Phase 1: Defining Quality with the Business Administration Scale (BAS) ***SUTQ-Approved***
This workshop explains the rationale for the Business Administration Scale and describes its use as a professional development tool. Specific items are examined in the scale, with special focus on the #5 "Good" indicators. Participants will be able to consider upgrading policies and procedures in their early learning environment that reduce risk.
ORTL Phase 2: Recognizing Developmental Milestones Using the ASQ (Ages & Stages Questionnaire) ***SUTQ-Approved***
Participants will be introduced or able to review the ASQ (Ages & Stages Questionnaire) and observe its use. Child development domains will be tied to practical examples and language that can be easily understood by parents. Strategies for successful parent meetings will be addressed.
ORTL Phase 3: Practical Applications of Safety Competencies ***SUTQ-Approved***
Participants will closely examine the Safety Competencies in Ohio's Core Knowledge and Competency document (CKC). The workshop will encourage those in attendance to recognize the need for emergency preparedness, appropriately respond to all types of bullying, demonstrate strategies to explain safety precautions to children and make a plan to correct potential safety hazards in the early childhood environment.
