The second edition of this practical, research-based, and accessible book offers early childhood educators a framework for successful and meaningful inclusion of preschoolers with special needs in classrooms. The building blocks model provides three practical methods teachers can use to include young children with disabilities: modifications that allow all children to participate, embedded learning opportunities that are used within typical classroom activities, and child-focused instructional strategies that help students achieve individual learning objectives. This edition shows how Building Blocks can be used to improve children's function outcomes in relation to federal requirements in early childhood special education. Includes CD-ROM.
