One of my biggest decisions I have ever made happened just over a year ago. You see I had a stroke and that changed by whole world. I lost by job, and was very lost in life. I fought tooth and nail to fight for disability and finally received it about two years ago. Although this was helpful I was missing something in life, and that was working for a living. So I talked it over with my family and told them I wanted to go back to college and earn a degree to where it would not focus on my disability. My family was hesitant with this decision due to the fact I would lose all I had fought so hard for pertaining to my disability. However, I told them I wanted to go back to go school so I can help people who have had struggled with disabilities such as I have. They knew how much this meant to me so we moved forward and I started college at an older age in life so I can help individuals as myself. Ever since I started school I feel so much better about myself, and can see how far this decision will help so many including myself. Giving up the disability was so well worth it

This unit analyzes the different ways you can adapt the environment to meet the needs of the children in your class. When designing your environment, it is important to keep in mind the skills that the children in your group are learning and have mastered. The way you arrange your classroom, and the materials you fill it with can have a big impact on the kinds of play and learning opportunities you provide to your students.

For this Assignment, you will use the developmental milestone chart, unit readings, and four classroom models provided to analyze the physical design, developmentally appropriateness of materials, and need for adaptive materials for each age-level classroom model on the template located in Doc Sharing.

For each classroom model, you analyze the physical design and materials and then:

Describe 2 additional developmental materials or activities to address skill level or needs of the children.
Describe 2 changes you would make to the physical design of the classroom to promote optimal learning through play.

1-year-old infant who is not yet crawling
2-year-old toddler who has difficulty with hand-eye coordination.
4-year-old preschooler who needs sensory stimulation.
6-year-old ESL learner (English as Second Language)

You will also include an overall two paragraph reflection describing how the developmental domains were incorporated, which theories influenced the design of the classrooms, and the selection of materials for each of the age levels.
