Early+Childhood+Teachers+Resources

I attended a seminar last year presented by Chris Ellis and Janice Collins. It was a run by The Department of Education for staff working in Early Childhood education. It was aimed at providing assistants with strategies for students in their class with special needs. I have attached the handouts that were provided. As a number of strategies were provided I was able to work out which one worked best with each additional needs student. Whilst these startegies work well in an early childhood environment, with small changes they could be used into upper primary. The two that I found very beneficial were the try this toilet training and try this cutting.
