    • Development from birth to 8 years is a period of significant growth and development.
    • This groundwork sets the stage for future learning and socialization.
    • Examining different developmental stages helps professionals to better understand and support their development.

    Developmental Domains

    • To understand the "whole child," we consider six developmental domains:
      • Social-Emotional Development
      • Physical-Motor Development
      • Cognitive Development
      • Language Development
      • Cultural Identity Development
      • Creative Development

    Physical Development

    • Influences and interacts with intellectual skills, fine motor skills, and social issues.

    Cultural Awareness

    • Children form early attitudes about racial and different cultural differences.
    • Cognitive development influences their behavior towards others.

    Developmental Domains

    • Infant (0-9 months)

    • Variety of formats, considering developmental variations and group planning.
    • The classroom should be accessible and adaptable to different children's needs.

    Children with Special Needs

    • Delayed development, distorted or atypical development, and severely affected development,
    • Multi-handicapping, learning disabilities, like ADHD (with three subtypes), and Autism Spectrum Disorder, which may include difficulties in communication, social skills, and repetitive behaviors.
    • Examples include:
      • Pete: a 5-year-old blind child
      • Chrissy: a 4-year-old with multiple exceptionalities
      • Travis: a child with Down Syndrome.

    Strategies for Supporting Children with Special Needs (ASD)

    • Use simple, direct, and short statements
