Special Education Needs Early Years Care and Education

by Lynda Littleboy, Michael Reed, Jill Thompson

This is a key child care textbook giving a broad overview of special education needs (SEN) in early years childcare (i.e. children aged 0-8), based on a recently enacted legal framework and the Code of Practice for this field of care provision. Since all nurseries have children with SEN, this is a core subject for all child care courses at all levels. It is also a core area for continuing practice assessments for qualified staff. It refers to current legislation and Code of Practice for this field of child care provision. It is well illustrated and referenced, ensuring the book is particularly useful to all its readers. Written by a team of highly regarded childcare educationalists who are well placed to know the learning needs of child care students.
