All About “All About Me”
The All About Me document training from Early Childhood Outreach provides a practical way for early childhood educators and families to record important information about a child’s connections, communication, interests, play skills, regulation, self-care skills and goals.
| Duration | Up to 2 hours for a live session including time for discussion. Pre-recorded content may be shorter |
| Delivery | Your choice of live online, in-person, or pre-recorded presentation |
| AEDC Domain | Supports educators to take observations of all the domains |
Considers each area of the ‘All About Me’ document – Family Connections, Communication, Interests and Play skills, Emotional and Sensory Regulation, Self Care Skills, Background Information and Goals; how to observe and document these areas with the family and others working with the child, and how to share and plan goals and strategies together.
The All About Me form can help bring this information together to provide a useful overview of the individual child. It can also be used as a developmental profile template to support collaborative discussions about the child’s strengths, interests, current abilities and goals.
The online version of this presentation is only 20 minutes, and is available free.
If this presentation is requested as a live, face to face session, there will be extended discussion and interaction with educators to take the presentation length to approximately 1 hour.
This item aligns with SRF Broad Goal:
‘The service will develop and implement systematic processes which focus on improving equitable access’
By supporting educators and families to develop a shared understanding of the child, the All About Me document can help inform collaborative planning and strategies.
