Описание: This comprehensive edited collection provides early childhood education and early childhood special education providers and researchers with strengths-based strategies for young children in infant, toddler, and preschool settings. It focuses on meaningfully working with families and communities to promote children’s social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health well-being.Moving away from deficit-based views and reframing how educators and researchers can respond to behavior that is perceived as challenging, the book begins with an overview of family-centered practices, the negative impact of exclusionary discipline, and theoretical models for understanding behavior and partnerships. Then the chapters detail how to recognize and build on family and community strengths, reduce suspensions and expulsions, and promote strengths-based teacher training and research collaborations. The book also discusses research, practice, and policy approaches that support children with disabilities, emphasizing the importance of family and community in intervention processes. Strengths-Based Family and Community Partnerships in Early Childhood Special Education Research and Practice is key reading for early childhood professionals, pre-service teacher educators, and researchers.
This book presents a collection of research-based, effective, and culturally responsive practices that are used in schools and communities to support and empower families of students with disabilities to be equal partners for schools. As the demographics of the U.S. population become increasingly diverse, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that, by 2044, more than half of the U.S. population will belong to a minority group. Currently, students from diverse backgrounds comprise over 53% of the special education student population. While their parents are the key decision makers and advocates who ensure that they receive services and support that address their individual needs, research consistently indicates that families from diverse backgrounds face many challenges that prevent them from taking on these active roles.
Along with the improvements in the U.S. since the enactment of its first special education law in 1975, other parts of the world are also making changes to their special education systems in terms of responding to the diverse needs of children and students with disabilities and their families. This book also shares research-based and effective practices from other countries. The studies presented employ both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate family-school-community partnerships.
