Children+with+Special+Needs+in+Early+Childhood+Settings




 * Children with Special Needs in Early Childhood Settings** is a reference book written for early childhood educators who are working in settings with young children: in preschools and child-care centres. The content of the book is specifically focused on children from birth to eight years of age. The purpose of this resource book is to help early childhood educators:
 * find additional information about children whose physical, emotional, social, language and overall communication skills and /or cognitive development is different from that of other children of their age
 * know what steps to take if they have concerns about the development of a child in their care
 * find effective ways to include the children with special needs in the group by providing helpful interaction and programming ideas

This book is intended as a reference guide and covers the spectrum of conditions, disabilities, syndromes and other types of developmental differences that teachers and caregivers may encounter in children in their care. For each disability or condition, a very concise definition is presented in straightforward language with a wealth of information in an easy-to-follow column format. Suggested Web sites at the end of each section offer further opportunity for research.
