Starting With Their Strengths

This is a comprehensive guide to using the project approach when teaching young children with special needs. Using scenarios from their own practice, the authors examine the process of accessing children's strengths to facilitate social, emotional, cognitive, and motor development, including concepts and skills. The text includes classroom vignettes; photos of projects; sample lesson plans; forms for data collection; communicating with parents; identifying sensory challenges and behaviour analysis; and a strength-based Individualized Education Plan (IEP) guide.
