This book explores ways of meeting the challenges of preschool children who have special needs by providing these children and their families with a learning environment that will help them develop and learn. The text emphasizes the special needs of preschoolers age three to age six. The information is essential for all teachers and others who work with young children. Prospective and current teachers of preschool children who are at-risk or who have disabilities, as well as teachers of typical young children in regular preschool classes, need this knowledge.
