Reading about Adapting Early Childhood Curricula

This book is all inclusive. It speaks about different childhood and family dynamics, and how to make many different types of assessments. It talks about supporting and collaborating, for children with special needs. This book is highly recommended for individuals that are thinking about majoring in Special Education. I am going to keep this book permanently in my library.

This is one book that you won't leave on the shelf

Everytime this book is updated, I buy it. Anyone who works with children birth to five or is involved in the field of early intervention will find this book practical and relevant . It is a perfect combination of theory and practice written in an easy to read style and format. Want to know about classroom strategies for a child with vision impairments..?It's in there. What about working with para-educators? You'll find it. Need to know about adapting materials for infants in the home? You'll find that too. This book is a must for the experienced and the inexperienced teacher, home visitor, early interventionist, teaching assistant, etc. I use it as a textbook with my graduate education classes and as a personal resource when working with children and families. The resources included in the book are excellent and useful for anyone wanting to learn more about working with young children with special needs.
