Chances are, at some point in your early childhood career, you will work with children who have, or might have, a developmental delay or disability, along with their families. This book offers essential information about disabilities and how they impact young children’s learning and development. More than that, it encourages you to go beyond a child’s disability label to see her strengths, needs, interests, and preferences and to figure out how best to support those in the classroom, just as you do for any other child. Regardless of medical diagnoses or individual challenges, children with disabilities are first and foremost children.
