Supporting Young Children with Multiple Disabilities: What Do We Know and What Do We Still Need to Learn?
Horn, Eva; Kang, Jean
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v31 n4 p241-248 Feb 2012
Young children with multiple disabilities have unique needs and challenges. Many of these young children struggle to communicate their wants and needs, to freely move their body to access and engage their world, and to learn abstract concepts and ideas. Professionals and families working together must identify the individual supports each child needs to ensure that the young child with multiple disabilities is an active participant in all aspects of his or her life and makes meaningful progress toward valued life outcomes.
