This section of the brochure should amount to at least one full paragraph and include an appropriate heading.

This section of the brochure should include 3-5 complete sentences and an appropriate heading.
4. Share at least 4 effective strategies for young children with special needs.
Please refer to the template and describe at least 4 effective teaching strategies for young children with special needs. This section of the brochure should amount to at least one full paragraph and include an appropriate heading. You should use your text as well as Kaplan’s Library to research resources that focus on these effective teaching strategies for children with special needs.
5. Identify some developmentally appropriate activities that can be implemented to assist these children in their real-life experiences.
In this section of the brochure, describe developmentally appropriate activities in at least 3-5 complete sentences. Please include an appropriate heading. Use Kaplan’s Library to research resources that focus on developmentally appropriate activities and how they relate to real-life experiences. You will need to share and compare your findings between what you researched and what you learned in this course.
As with all writing, be sure to include citations if you use information from any source to avoid plagiarism. It is always necessary to give the author credit. In addition, please make sure to include a reference page.

4. Share at least four characteristics of effective strategies for young children with special needs. (erase example and respond below)
Example: Utilizing effective strategies when working with young children who have special needs can enhance development and learning. For example, in a preschool classroom, children that struggle with receptive language development can benefit from the use of a visual schedule. When a teacher is able to visually give information to students when events will occur, the more a child will be able to follow directions and transitions. In addition…. refer to unit readings from Allen text and units 4-9 for more examples:
Behavior modifications

5. Identify some developmentally appropriate activities that can be implemented to assist these children in their real-life experiences. (erase example and respond below)
Example: Developmentally appropriate activities for children ages birth to 3, can be planned by the caregiver and parent after careful observation of the child’s needs. For example, a child entering the preschool environment can expect to work on fine motor skills as they perform simple tasks with crayons and paper. In addition to coloring, a playdough center can become a place for a young child to work on strengthening their fine motor muscles as well as learn appropriate language and social skills as they share and play with others.
Refer to your text Children With Special Needs in Early Childhood Settings and play close attention to the section on each disability titled “recommendations.”

Question 1
Note effectively the changes that children suspected of having disability are to be evaluated. Thus, evaluate the child’s health, vision and hearing, social and emotional status, general intelligence, communicative status, and motor ability. However, you should not use severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement. It should involve a variety of assessment tools and strategies in order to gather relevant information, whether functional, developmental, or academic about your child. Is my child’s cognitive skill present? Does he feed on well? Is he able to communicate well as the other children of his age? These, among other evaluation should be assessed (Zhang, 2008).
Question 2
The purpose of effective evaluation is to find out whether you child is a “child with disability”, gather information that will help determine the child’s educational needs and requirements, and to guide the parents in decision making regarding the child’s educational programming needs. Effective evaluation also helps in identifying, categorically, your child’s needs specifying autism from deafness, emotional disturbance and developmental delay, and hearing impairment from intellectual disability. This enables the parent to counter the problem at early stages before escalating (Baron, 2004).
Question 3
Services provided for each child are tailored to meet the child’s specification in the least restrictive educational setting in which the child’s requirements can be met. These services include audiology services, medical services, physiotherapy services, psychological services, speech and language services, and nutrition services. Services may be provided to address the child’s family priorities and needs. Family directed services are meant to help the family understand the special needs of their child in order to enhance his development (Davis and Broitman, 2011)
Question 4
Providing effective learning strategies can be helpful in the advancement of your child’s development skills. For instance, caregivers or trainers should establish a routine based on events rather than time. They should also provide a work area that is quiet, free from distraction. This may require the use of ear plugs or a scheduling work that requires concentration especially when other children are napping. Additionally, organize the home in such a way that you child can find what he wants without hunting for it. Use of positive approach, such as a simple command in teaching and feedback may be helpful (Zhang, 2008).
Question 5
Developmentally appropriate activities for young children include engaging in sport activities such as hide and seek so as the child can advance his cognitive skills. The child can also engage in play with other children so as to advance his communication skills. Additionally, the child can engage in play activities such as ball kicking for physical development skills (Baron, 2004).
