Identifying Children with Special Needs (for teachers)

Early Childhood Educators are sometimes the first people to recognize the possibility of a child having a special need. Learn about the preschool teacher’s role in being a liaison between parents and the world of special needs resources.

Discussion will include information on different types of delays and disorders along with guidelines to support the child and family.
