Child Life Specialist
Professionals in the field of Child Life are responsible for providing support and care to
children and adolescents facing some sort of medical condition or illness. Child Life Specialists
usually work in hospitals that offer pediatric services (Brooks, 2016). When families with
children or teenagers are going thru difficult times and stress related to medical issues they find
counsel and comfort in the presence of Child Life Specialists. Child Life Specialists, via
educational activities, therapy, and a myriad of other related approaches, ensure that children and
their families are prepare to undergo medical procedures. More importantly, Child Life
Specialists are always available to children in need, and their work schedules and setting might
vary accordingly due to such required availability.
Children, and the issues that hinder their development is a constant factor of everyday
life. Almost every medical facility that offers services to children in the United States have Child
Life Specialists in their staff (UND, n.d., p. 8). While salaries for these types of healthcare
professional is not high, the profession is expanding and growing to other sectors that attend to
the needs of children outside of traditional hospitals (CNFC, 2017). As a result, professional in
the field have the opportunity to find employment quite easily when compared to other
healthcare professions. Nevertheless, considering the low starting pay rate for new Child Life
Specialists, professionals must be willing to take jobs outside of the traditional hospital setting.
Early Childhood Intervention
The principal responsibility of Early Childhood Intervention specialists is the appropriate
development of young children. These professionals are responsible for developing adequate
curriculums to positively influence the development of children outside the home and encourage
early socialization (Shonkoff and Meisels, n.d. p. 7). Some very young children, those that are not old enough to attend kindergarten and come from stressed households, are in need of early
intervention methods. Early Childhood Specialists are responsible for identifying these
children’s special needs and ensuring their complete development into adulthood. Additionally,
Early Childhood Intervention specialists are responsible for assessing the patients’ cognitive,
behavioral, and emotional development, as well as their educational performance (Karoly,
Kilburn, and Cannon, 2005, p. 56).
The field of Early Childhood Intervention is growing exponentially. The federal
government has made available a myriad of grants and other types of financial assistance to
organizations employing Early Childhood Intervention specialists (PIC, n.d.). Along with a
higher starting pay when compared to similar professions, Early Childhood Intervention
specialists can teach at the college level or work within the school district and other settings
catering to special needs children (PIC, n.d.). Professionals in this field must seek specialized
licensing to increase their employment opportunities in the area of special needs teaching. References Karoly, L. A., Kilburn, M. R., & Cannon, J. S. (2005). Early childhood interventions: proven
