Supporting Explanations:Children and youth with special needs develop within a broad range of human growth and development.
An understanding of special needs allows professionals to identify the resources and develop appropriate programming. Developing an inclusive child care program provides for individualized, high quality care and education for all children and youth in the program. Both parents and professionals have specialized knowledge about children and youth with special needs that must be shared. Knowledge of available special needs resources assists in meeting the specific needs of children, youth and families. Clear and understandable information about abilities, disabilities, services, and rights supports the professional, the parents, and the child. |
