CHILD LIFE COMPETENCY 2:
The ability to initiate and maintain meaningful and therapeutic relationships with infants, children, youth, and families.
Service Dialogue
In this assignment, I created a scripted dialogue from the perspective of a child life specialist to introduce my role to a patient and their family. The dialogue highlights how child life services promote coping strategies and offer emotional support, all while following the principles of patient- and family-centered care.
Assessment Assignment
This assignment required me to analyze three patient scenarios in order to create assessments, apply developmental theory, and determine appropriate interventions for each case. Throughout the process, I focused on building rapport and trust with patients and their families while thoughtfully implementing child life services tailored to their specific needs.
