Beskrivning

From Cradle to Classroom: A Guide to Special Education for Young Children is a book written for regular and special education teachers, school administrators, school psychologists, related educational personnel, day care providers, parents, graduate students, and policy makers who work on behalf of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to ensure they are ready for formal education when they reach age 5. It reflects a keen understanding that early interventions are most effective in reducing the potential for special education or other support services later in a child’s development.Research shows the benefits of investing in early intervention and high-quality preschool as a way to mitigate educational gaps in learning and to improve the development of children across all domains (Executive Office of the President of the United States, 2015; Lynch & Vaghul, 2015; Yoshikawa et al., 2013). Throughout the book, readers will find strategies to help atypical children navigate the world as they move from infancy to toddlerhood, and to preschool and beyond. The chapters dig deep and offer expansive understandings of the components necessary to ensure young children, especially those with exceptionalities, become successful students.

In a world of firsts, infancy, toddlerhood, and preschool hold many sacred events. Sometimes, however, those moments are hard won due to poverty, homelessness, cultural differences, or disabilities. It is for those times that From Cradle to Classroom: A Guide to Special Education for Young Children was written. Reading this book, parents, families, and community members will begin to understand the complexities of special education for the youngest of children. Educators, practitioners, and preservice teachers will reference this book again and again when working with the youngest members of society with exceptionalities or those who are at risk. A comprehensive look at the many facets of special education for children from birth to 5 years of age, this book fills the gaps in current research and literature.
