Opis: Adapting Early Childhood Curricula for Children with Special Needs - Deborah Chen, Diane Klein, Ruth Cook

For students taking courses in early childhood special education. A practical, activity-based approach to early childhood special education built on a foundation of theory and research. This comprehensive text on early childhood special education emphasizes a developmental focus over a disability focus. The authors believe that children are more alike than different in their developmental processes and avoids the negative impact of labeling children with disability categorical names. The authors have produced a book that offers educators a practical and effective guide to finding learning opportunities within daily curriculum activities and routine. The current edition maintains the focus on inclusive, family-centered, real-world approaches that are also theoretically based. The text also provides ample detail related to specific intervention strategies that enhance teachers' ability to work with young children with special needs and their families. Readable and practical, the illustrations of techniques and strategies throughout make this text a valuable resource long after students leave their formal education.Contents Chapter 1 Educating Young Children with Special Needs: The Challenge Viewing the Child with Special Needs as a Child First Inclusion of Young Children with Special Needs in Community-Based Settings Philosophy of This Text Early Childhood Special Education: An Evolving Field Pioneering Influences Casa dei Bambini Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development Recognition of the Role of Early Experiences Project Head Start: A Breakthrough Doubts Impact of Early Intervention Early Intervention for Children with Disabilities Relationship-Focused Models of Early Intervention Changing Policies: The Enabling Impact of Public Pressure and Legislation Development of Professional Groups The Power of Private Citizens The First Chance Program Public Law 94-142: The Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 Public Law 99-457: The Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments of 1986 Public Law 101-476: The Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments of 1990 Public Law 102-119: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1991 Public Law 105-17: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 Public Law 108-446: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 Public Law 101-336: The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Evolving Trends in Early Childhood Special Education Family-Centered Services Community-Based Inclusive Services Interdisciplinary Collaboration Culturally Responsive Practices Coordinated, Comprehensive Services Evidence-Based Practices Routines-Based or Embedded Interventions Standards-Based Curriculum Child Outcomes Recognition and Response Building on Recommended Practices Collaboration Between Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education Professionals A Cautionary Note Service Delivery Child-Focused Approaches Caregiver-Focused Approaches Services for Infants and Toddlers Services for Preschoolers Meeting Young Children's Needs in Inclusive Settings Unique Challenges Involved in Supporting Early Childhood Inclusion Redefining the Role of the Early Childhood Special Educator The Case for Specific Training Related to Inclusion Support Summary Discussion Topics and Activities Chapter2: In Partnership with Families A Personal Perspective on Raising a Child with Developmental Challenges Emotional Supports for Families with Children Who Have Special Needs Basic Needs Failure to Consider Basic Needs The Need for Emotional Support Parental Reactions; Dealing with Grief and Other Feeling States Shock, Disbelief, and Denial Anger and Resentment Bargaining Depression and Discouragement Adaptation and Adjustment A Father's Perspective Transitions The Family as a System Extended Family and Sibling Needs and Reactions Siblings Parents as Team Members Family Outcomes Options for Family Involvement A Continuum What Fathers Say About Their Involvement Home-Based Intervention Programs Additional Important Considerations When Making Home Visits Supporting and Partnering with Parents in Early Intervention Programs Conferences with Parents Involving Parents in Group Meetings Working with Culturally Diverse Families Cultural Models and Child-Rearing Practices Language Differences Parents' Expectations of the Preschool Curricula Working with Special Family Populations Parents with Developmental Disabilities Teen Parents Foster Caregivers Understanding the Impact of Poverty Homelessness Summary Chapter3: Developing Individualized Intervention Plans and Programs and Monitoring Progress The Individualized Family Service Plan Process for Infants, Toddlers, and Their Families The IFSP Process Participants in Initial and Annual IFSP Meetings Identifying Family Concerns, Priorities, and Resources The IFSP Document Developing Outcome Statements Service Coordination Who Can Become Service Coordinators?
