Every child is unique. All children have specific strengths, as well as areas for growth. Identifying children’s unique differences, meeting their individual needs, and building on their strengths to promote optimal learning and development is the foundation for this course. By taking this course, you’ll gain a better understanding of inclusion and special education services. We’ll explore a multitude of strategies for working with children with special needs in your learning environment, many of which are considered best practices for early learning in general. This course is designed to consider how to meet the needs of all children; therefore, even if you don’t have a child with a diagnosed disability in your program, you’ll be able to apply many of these strategies and see increased success in behavior, language, and social emotional skills with ALL of the children in your care!
These strategies are job-embedded and will need to be implemented in your program.
