    Study Notes

    Young Children with Special Needs

    • Understanding children with special needs is crucial for early childhood education.
    • Early detection and intervention are essential for holistic development.
    • Special needs are often identified in early childhood, and early intervention significantly improves outcomes.
    • Children with special needs may have learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, or emotional difficulties, plus physical disabilities, medical conditions, intellectual difficulties, or emotional/behavioral problems.
    • Red Flags are indicators that a child's development might be at risk. Teachers and parents are crucial in spotting these.
    • Documentation of observed behaviors and communication with parents are key for addressing potential delays.
    • Developmental Delay occurs when a child doesn't meet expected developmental milestones. This can involve various areas like motor skills, language, social skills, and cognitive abilities.
    • Disability is a characteristic that limits a person's ability in physical, emotional, cognitive, or sensory domains.
    • A handicap arises when a disability limits participation in society. This is societal, not inherent in the disability.

    Definition of Terms

    • Red Flag: An informal term indicating a child's development might be at risk, falling outside the typical range.
    • Disability: A characteristic that restricts or inhibits abilities in major development domains (physical, emotional, cognitive, sensory).
    • Handicap: Arises from disability when it prevents full societal participation. This is not inherent in the disability, but from societal barriers.
    • Early Intervention: Services and supports for young children with developmental delays or disabilities, aiming to help development across physical, cognitive, language, social, and emotional domains.

    Developmental Domains (0-3 years old)

    • Physical: Growth, health, height, weight.
    • Communication: Using 3 to 10 words consistently by 1 year, and 2 to 3 word phrases by 2; establishing 2-way communication. Talking in complete sentences by 3.
    • Cognitive Development: Child is developing thinking and learning. Recognizing objects, responding to commands, interacting with environment.
    • Sensory Development: The five senses are developing.
    • Fine Motor Skills: Movements like grasping, scribbling, and talking.
    • Gross Motor Skills: Large muscle movements like crawling, walking, and jumping.
    • Social/Emotional: Managing feelings, understanding oneself and others, building relationships, and handling feelings.

    Red Flags by Area

    • Communication: Not talking at 18 months, lack of communication attempts at 12 months, no object recognition at 18 months, not understanding commands.
    • Gross Motor Skills: Not walking independently by 18 months.
    • Fine Motor Skills: Specific hand-finger coordination challenges.
    • Cognition: Sensory concerns, or extreme variations in muscle tone. Various issues related to attention, interactions, and activities.

    Special Needs / Disabilities

    • Developmental disabilities (Autism, Down Syndrome, Fragile X) are often noticeable early due to physical or mental impairments. They often involve extra or missing chromosomes.
    • Behavioral or emotional disabilities (ADD, bipolarized, oppositional defiant disorder) often involve difficulties in interpersonal relationships, learning, and emotional/mood problems.
    • Sensory impairments (deafness, blindness, visual or hearing impairments) involve problems with one or more sensory organs. Genetics and injury can cause these impairments.
