Inclusion in Early Childhood Programs: Children with Exceptionalities, Fourth Canadian Edition, investigates the education and care of children with special needs from birth through school age in the setting of their neighbourhood early childhood program or school.While focusing on the strengths of the bestselling previous editions, the authors also develop the book in important new directions. They have expanded the chapters that deal directly with understanding and working with children who have developmental differences. New strategies for inclusion are provided. The chapter order has been significantly reorganized to reflect current Canadian teaching practices. For the first time, the needs of school-age children are addressed in the chapter on Intervention for Specific Age Groups. Updated research throughout the text makes strong use of Canadian sources, ensuring instructors have the latest information about the legislation and social changes that will influence the care and education of special-needs children.
