Developing positive attitudes

My experience in the Early Childhood setting is, there was a little boy who was unable to speak properly. He would clench his jaw and murmur what he is saying, no one understood what he said. He also clench his jaw when he was eating, his fruit and lunch was crix biscuit. He would always shake his head to respond at times. We did not have a support staff so, my colleagues and I used various strategies to assist him. He was not excluded from the normal setting, he followed the daily routine. After some time and dedication he left our Centre talking and eating food.
