Grade Level: Preschool - Third Grade
All children in early childhood programs need nurturing and stimulating learning environments, but children with special needs may also require some modification of typical classroom experiences in order to thrive. These modifications can seem overwhelming to busy teachers who must decide whether the environment, the classroom equipment and materials, the activities themselves, or the expectations they have of the child must change. This teaching resource book is written to help teachers look at classroom design in a new way and suggests different ways of approaching activities to help children with special needs become successful. By modifying the classroom and activities, all children will be actively engaged. Each chapter focuses on either a learning center, such as art or science, or a time of the day, such as snack time or dismissal, with particular attention to the needs of children with special needs. The suggestions in each chapter will enable all children to learn by keeping them involved in developmentally appropriate routines and center-based activities. Chapters include:

The first column details observable behaviors, symptoms, and physical characteristics associated with the condition; the second presents a list of alternative conditions, behaviors and symptoms which may be similar but indicate a different root cause; and, the third column is dedicated to recommendations about how to work with a child who fits the profile of this disability or condition. Particular emphasis is placed on finding effective ways to include the children with special needs in the group.

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
