Inclusion (Special Needs)

Inclusive Lesson Plans Throughout the Year has over 150 lesson plans for teachers who have children with special needs in their early childhood classrooms. Perfect for both beginning teachers and veteran teachers, Inclusive Lesson Plans Throughout the Year helps new teachers develop plans for each day and provides veteran teachers with new ideas and approaches to add spark to their classroom teaching.

The first chapter provides information on planning for children's needs, best practices, the learning environment, and planning instructions. The lesson plans in the subsequent chapters are organized by theme and follow a typical school year, offering teachers a plan appropriate for all children.

Each lesson plan is complete with learning objectives, the lesson, a review, materials list, directions for preparation, an assessment component, extension activities to connect the lesson to different areas of the curriculum, and adaptations or modifications for children with a variety of special needs.

Each lesson plan has accommodations or modifications for children with:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Speech and language impairments
• Visual impairments
• Hearing impairments
• Orthopedic impairments
• ADHD
• Cognitive and/or developmental delays
• Emotional disturbances
