Content descriptions

Bibliography, etc. Note: Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary, etc.: Bridging the gap between child development and strategies for inclusion, this volume will help early childhood practitioners and pre-service teachers feel better equipped to meet the needs of all the children in their early childhood setting. Each chapter introduces you to a child (ages birth to 8 years) with one or more special needs, including autism, cerebral palsy, Turner syndrome, ADHD, emotional/behavioral disorders, apraxia, Down syndrome, giftedness, and juvenile diabetes. Advocating a holistic view of working with children, each profile includes: a description of the child; an interview with a family member or early childhood professional describing essential facts and historical incidents in the child's life; an epilogue updating the status of the child; information for educators about the special needs covered in the profile; hints for success-teaching strategies for working with children in inclusive classrooms; discussion questions for the classroom; resources for educators and parents; an appendix with guidelines for an IEP (Individualized Education Program).
