Helping Children with Special Needs

Helping Children with Special Needs is written to help teachers of Anabaptist Christian day schools understand issues and hurdles that hinder children from learning. The book is a guide for both inclusive and one-on-one learning environments. The reader will learn about the role of the teacher and church community in assisting these children to be included in God’s work and kingdom. While looking at specific disabilities, teachers will learn how to develop interventions and goals for their child with special needs. They will learn to detect certain medical alerts, respond appropriately when when a child bolts, and discern between reliable and unreliable information. This book also explores non-disability special needs that affect learning, such as poverty, medical problems, trauma, broken homes, and cultural differences.
