Feedback from Alex

How do we put forward what is the intention purposes?

How do we create documents or forms to support or cover ourselves when we applied to go into the classroom setting?

How we come out with a standardised instruction for us to give to the participants?

After that, if we are collecting the drawing, do we plan to give any opportunity for the child to make any statement if the child wishes to – in associate with his/her drawing – or our interest is only to collect the drawing and nothing else.
Setting – where we get the drawing does not matter, as long as it is done correctly and ethically. This will be a ALS learning community project.

After that we will be teach how to assess cognitive, how to assess emotionally from these drawings as a follow up learning exercise. It will be like in our pairing interview, on our human figure drawing, so in getting the experience of projection. Getting into how to ask the relevant questions, so that ppl can project into the figure that was drawn, this is one of the methods. Then how we use in conducting a proper protocol using DAP where we have a standard protocol to follow, the best you can, showing the feet then the head.

Later on we will be teach how to use inventory to check this, for the intelligent, to pick up potential anxiety and emotional problem from that figure drawing, which will be come later. Next time in figure drawing by looking at the figure, you can work out the development age of the person which was well established as a testing tool and also from the same figure drawing you are able to pick up potential emotional issues. Getting you planning, what go thru you mind, how you address the ethical issue, professional issue, distinction like the learning and research what are the things clinical issue, what is protocol issue. You are able to know the sensitive issues, to work in the protocol correctly.

We can’t cover every varies, we should go for basic. Go for age, gender, clinical setting, diagnosis in learning disability. Stick to 3-11. It does not matter; the more we get the better, go towards the developmental line – 3-5 (nursery and kindergarten ) like in the Indiana setting.

It is okay, if we approach a known client, it would not be biased, as long as we can accumulate the data altogether. Can approach the BOLD, but make our task easier don’t too hard.

When it all these make sense to all, then Alex will introduce:
• If you have give the instruction in draw a figure, but the person only draw the feet then head only, what does that means?
• How do I go about the systematic way to observe for indicators into human figures drawing?
• What is it about him to draw in all different colours, (Ding – all different kind of emotion, Alex- emotion for what? Ding – expression? Alex – expression meaning what – anxious, tensed, anger?
• Like the tree – what about the tree, what you notice about the tree, what are there, what is it a normal tree, 6 years old what compare to other, what about the tree, there is no leaf.
• In the pic, of the sharks with teeth – what does it means? Means – aggression. There is a lot of potential progression – depress aggression.
• How do I look at this pic?
