KCTS 9 Educational Workshops: Supporting Children with Special Needs
Identification and inclusion of special needs children.
What does it take to look after a child with "special needs"? Every child has unique needs, so many strategies for including children with "special needs" are the same as the things you do to meet the needs of any child. Including children with special needs in your care just takes a little bit of knowledge, creativity, and flexibility. Participants learn how to identify special needs, how to include children with special needs in regular routines, and how inclusion benefits all children.
Key messages:
- Observe your child
- Early intervention is essential
- Services are usually available through regional centers or local school districts
- Create flexible parameters for involvement in activities
