Grade Level: Preschool - Kindergarten 
The goal for early childhood teachers is to create and manage a developmentally sound and enriching learning environment. The practical tips and tools in this book will help teachers do just that. The whole-child and sensory approaches in this book are predicated on the idea that children will use every aspect of their senses and bodies to learn about the world in which we live. A teacher who picks up this manual will have a usable reference source that is all inclusive. In general, few adaptations are necessary for those children who have special needs. The encouraged approach is to teach children the same, as children. Of course, our goal as teachers is to do what is necessary to make each child successful. That is the basis for this book. All material has been class tested. Children from ages two to five have completed these activities successfully and with ease. This book will give you, the teacher, the tools and information needed to begin your preschool year on a positive note and to keep it running effectively from the first day until summer vacation. Provided within these pages are ideas on planning, organizing your classroom, developmental guidelines, handling behavior, setting up schedules and conferences, health and safety issues, issues on inclusion of children with special needs, and several ideas for an end-of-the-year program your families will talk about for years to come! Also included are the what, where, and why of the preschool curriculum. Finally, most sections of this book end with a page provided so that you can add notes of your own on each topic. In this way, you can keep all the information you need together in one place. Includes:

This teaching resource book is a straightforward, easy-to-understand guide to working with children who have autism. It explains the major characteristics associated with autism and helps teachers understand the ways children with autism relate to the world. Each chapter offers specific strategies for teachers to use, including setting up a proactive preschool environment, helping children learn life skills, managing behavior, helping children with autism communicate, encouraging children with autism to play, helping them to get along with others, and working with families. This education resource helps teachers connect with all children in meaningful ways, allowing children with autism to learn and grow. Chapters Include:
Awards "Teaching Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder is an in-depth
look at how to understand and help young children who are struggling with
these disorders. I have seen many different books for preschoolers and
kids with special needs. The unique thing about this one is that it addresses
not just the academic issues, as many of these books do, but the social
and practical aspects as well....A very useful resource." "This book helps teachers and parents make meaningful connections
with children who are diagnosed with autism. It clarifies professional
jargon. Much of the information is presented with an interesting question
and answer format, e.g. what are the major types of autism, why would
a child want to injure himself, can children with autism learn basic problem
solving, how do I know if a child with autism is sick. She offers suggestions
about the creating a helpful preschool environment, learning life skills,
helping a child communicate, building social skills, etc." Pages: 224

Finally, a child-friendly non-drug intervention for your hyperactive child. Sensory integration is a drug-free therapy that is used to help children with behavior, learning and motor problems. Pioneered by Dr. A. Jean Ayres of the University of Southern California and the Brain Research Center of UCLA, it is based on play but grounded in science. Hyperactive children may have a sensory integration problem that makes it difficult for them to select and respond appropriately to the everyday stimuli or events in their environment. For example, if they have a filtering problem, they may not know whether it is more important to pay attention to the teacher's voice or to the sounds of an airplane. This resource book, written for parents and teachers, provides sensory integration techniques that can be used immediately to help hyperactive children develop more integrated behavior. As children begin to function in a more appropriate way with the help of this approach, their self-esteem improves, which helps in all areas of their life. This resource book includes the following:
Clearly written and easy to read, this book can also serve as an introductions to sensory integration for health professionals. It contains helpful illustrations and case studies, and abstracts of research on hyperactivity and attention problems. Parents in particular will welcome this alternative therapy that can be used in conjunction with or instead of drug treatments to help their children. Pages: 147 Classroom Management See also: |
