A thorough introduction to educational policies, practices, programs, and services for future practitioners working with young children who have delays or disabilities in early intervention-early childhood special education (EI-ECSE) is provided in An Introduction to Young Children with Special Needs: Birth Through Age Eight. Respected authors Richard M. Gargiulo and Jennifer L. Kilgo thoughtfully address the needs of children who may be at risk for learning or development delays or disabilities. They provide evidence-based interventions and instructional strategies that give students a thorough understanding of critical theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, such as cultural responsiveness, evidence-based decision making, developmentally appropriate practices, and activity-based intervention. The Division for Early Childhood’s (DEC) Recommended Practices, which are included in the Fifth Edition, are among the most recent advancements and impacts in the fields of early intervention and early childhood special education.
