Description
Understanding Special Educational Needs and Disability in the Early Years provides essential tools for understanding legislation, policy, provision and practice for children in the early years. Based on extensive research, this key text charts the development of young children and their growing constructions of learning, communication, language, motor movement and emotion. The book offers practical insights into how to respond appropriately to a child's needs, drawing on personal accounts and case studies that illustrate the experience of SEND in the early years for families and professionals. This text is valuable for those supporting young children with special educational needs and disabilities, including students studying Early Years courses, families, SENDCOs, teachers and other staff. By exploring the four areas of need as defined in the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice, this book helps readers to appreciate the complexities of SEND in the early years and develop a deeper understanding of how to support children with diverse needs.
