Summary: More and more frequently, early childhood educators teach children with special needs, yet few have the necessary background knowledge and experiences to meet the challenge of teaching in an inclusive classroom. This book gives teachers targeted information, strategies, and activities to address the learning needs of all children, including those at risk. The author provides in-depth information on a variety of disabilities, including autism, vision and hearing loss, communication delays, and sensory integration disorders. Each chapter offers a glossary of terms, a list of suggested resources, and a brief summary of relevant research. Aligned with NAEYC and DEC standards, this engaging and comprehensive resource helps readers create appropriate inclusive environments and establish daily schedules; build relationships among peers with and without disabilities; work productively with families, special education teachers, and paraprofessionals; understand individualized education programs and response to intervention. This handbook gives preschool and kindergarten teachers the tools to support all young learners by building relationships and providing positive classroom experiences.
