This text provides in-depth treatment of early childhood special education, with a broad-based coverage of all aspects of special education for the young. The authors of this edited text provide an exceptionally thorough discussion of how children develop and what can go wrong while giving future special education teachers a solid “knowledge-content-applications” approach from which to teach children with special needs from birth to 5 years old. Significant attention is paid to core issues-special education’s historical foundations, the growth and development of the discipline, working with families, assessment and intervention, the use of technology, and cultural competency.
