Case Study 1
Rebecca is a four-year-old child who is about to enrol in the pre-school room. She has a physical
condition known as an ‘imperforate anus’. Imperforate anus is when there is no opening at the end
of the digestive track where the anus normally is. This condition affects about 1 in every 5000 babies,
and is a defect that occurs during the fifth to seventh weeks of fetal development. As a consequence,
Rebecca experiences trouble with bowel control and continuously leaks fluid from her anus that can
be quite strong smelling.
She has attended the service twice with her parents as part of the service’s orientation process and
has spent time in the room with the other children. She has had bowel accidents on both occasions,
which has been noticed and commented on by the other children. With one child saying ‘Does the
smelly girl have to be in our room?’ This was asked in front of both Rebecca and her parents.
1. Identify two strategies you would use with the children to promote understanding and
acceptance of Rebecca and her medical condition?
1- I would explain to the class students about Rebecca and her medical condition but not
in too much details to maintain confidentiality
2- I would ask students to play with her like any other child and her medical condition is
something normal and must be treated equally and with respect

Assessor Feedback
I am impressed at the holistic and inclusive approach you have taken with this case
study.
Well done
** You as the Educator play a SIGNIFICANT part here by being a role model of
inclusion and setting the expectation that everyone belongs in the classroom.
Never underestimate how important small group time is with children – for stories,
discussions, projects - a powerful opportunity to discuss acceptance, inclusion etc.
I would encourage you to refer to TOPIC 2.7 Discuss with children how their
bodies work and the importance of physical activity to people’s health and
wellbeing
REMEMBER:
Children learn through play.
Consider how you will help children understand through play.
For example:
* social dramatic play is a strategy you may use to promote understanding and
acceptance
An intuitive educator will set up a hospital/medical/doctors’ area for children to
explore a variety of issues related to health – you may be surprised at how much
children actually know!

2. Briefly describe three actions educators can take to help Rebecca manage her toileting
needs in a way that both promotes her independence and also protects her self-esteem?
1- Keep a container of spare underwear, clothing and wipes in the bathroom for
Rebecca to discreetly access if she has a toileting accident
2- Inform children of how to store wet/ soiled clothing, and why it is important to
maintain good hygiene practices such as correct hand washing techniques and
cleaning the bathroom area.
3- Every couple of hours ask Rebecca privately if she’s feeling she wants to go toilet

These are appropriate strategies to support Rebecca mange her toileting needs.
Did you find the Toileting resource: 8488 helpful?
It has LOTS of supportive strategies for everyone involved when supporting a child
who is starting toileting
Consider that you are part of a team.
As part of a team, it is important that you communicate with other educators who
are caring for Rebecca too.

Be careful reading this question.
It asks you to describe your interaction with Rebecca.
I would be expecting to see something like:
 I will be sensitive to the needs of Rebecca and her family I will continually reflect how I can help Rebecca feel empowered and
included.

INSERT YOUR RESUBMISSION HERE
 As an educator, it is necessary to be sensitive to the grievances of Rebecca
and her family. I will continually reflect how I can help Rebecca feel empowered and
included.
 Necessary classroom modifications will be done to meet the needs of
Rebecca
 All the health care workers should be acquainted with the special needs of
Rebecca.
 Special attention should be given to Rebecca and a separate caregiver
might be allocated.
 Children should be encouraged not to make offensive comments. Positive
reinforcement –reward strategies could be introduced for making children to
behave properly.
