Running Head: Individual education plan
Introduction
Early childhood learning education plan is an effective tool to nurture little children with basic
learning process. The education plan is developed on observing the child and identifying the
strength, abilities and area of interest. This piece of information will help the educator to develop
education plans by identifying specific needs of the child. Moreover, the plan will also help to
establish certain goals that bring natural development to the child. The entire process of IEP
learning involves collaborations of teachers and parents. Data contributed by the stakeholders
helps the educator to develop the child socially, emotionally and cognitively. This paper will
throw light on a provided fictitious child Zifa and construct an inclusive education plan for her.
Description of the child
Zifa is a 4yrs 9 month old girl who goes to an early childhood setting in Melbourne. Zifa has a
2yr sister and lives with her mom and dad. Zika enjoys family time in her holidays visiting new
places. Zifa’s mother reports Zifa to be stubborn and feisty. Zifa makes unusual perspective at
times that is totally imaginary. For instance, she narrates things as if she has remembered every
incidents while being part of it. She narrates her experience when she was born. She is slightly
challenged in her auditory processing. Zifa is very much fond of Ballet and can catch TV for 2
hours continuously. Zifa tries to perform ballet but often falls short of concentration.
Zifa is a beloved daughter and the same is reciprocated from her end. She prefers to socialize by
interacting with people. It is a very good sign that at such as young age she developed a sense of
socialization with people that is something her peer rarely understands. Zifa, having great humor
sense has also a keen interest towards knowing new things. She speaks confidently with people
thrice her age and while placing opinion to anybody she is determined. Unlike other children of
her age, she is not scared of needle neither she weeps when she is sick. She can remember things
from her past years. Zifa’s attendance to school is worth mentioning, Zifa likes to go to school
every day. Zifa is an obedient child who listens to her parent. Without much delay she gets
ready for school whenever she is asked for. Throughout the way she talks about her daily
activities and extra-curricular classes after school. This implies that she enjoys her learning and

day care activities. Zifa has interest towards indoor and outdoor games; she creates her
imagination and plays role in it.
Zifa is a caring sister as noted from the case study. They share toys, room and various other
things. Zifa shows interest on e-learning since finds fun in reading eggs with her sister. Her
character shows she cocoons Saskia and shows compassion when she was unwell and helping
her with parents knowledge. Regardless, Zifa sometimes jealous over Saskia because her child
psychology makes her feel left out. This time she is furious and lashes out Saskia.
Zifa blends well with unfamiliar people around her. She stays active for most of the time of the
day. She prefers to follow a routine based work but hates repetition of it. For this reason she is
tricked by her patents and is taught the same topic every day but from different book. She finds it
less attractive to open same book everyday even during bed time stories however she prefers to
stay at large from puzzles and books. In recent days Zifa is taking interest on sports as well such
as swimming, gymnastics. Her excitement mounts while expecting to top Loreto on swimming.
Her auditory challenges have never been an obstacle in her dreams and life style (Arishi et al.
2017). Hence setelling in a regular school won’t be a problem for her since it would have a
regular routine what she likes and there she has some of her known peer group.
