Skills to Support Young Children with Special Needs
Professional Development and Parent Education
Educational Productions brings you
training videos that show and teach strategies to support
young children with special needs from birth to 8 years.
You will see adults working in child care,
pre-K, Head Start and K-2 classrooms where typically and
non-typically developing children are learning together.
The videos listed below are especially helpful for supporting children with atypical development because they teach adults to be good observers of what a child is doing at a particular moment in a particular context instead of what is expected at a particular age or stage. These videos are also widely used for parent education. Many are available in both English and Spanish.
