Through simple explanations and real-world examples, this course covers essential frameworks used in special education, including Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), behavior intervention strategies, and inclusive classroom practices. You will discover ways to adapt activities, provide emotional support, encourage social interaction, and create safe learning environments where every child can succeed.
By the end of the course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to support children with diverse needs, collaborate effectively with families, and promote equality and inclusion in early learning settings. This course empowers you to make a positive difference in the developmental journey of young children.
