This article contains a review of eight refereed publications that addressed the topic of developmentally appropriate practice (DAP), as that is a topic presently being discussed widely both nationally and internationally. According to the most recent 2009 NAEYC publication on DAP, recommended practices are those "that result from the process of professionals making decisions about the well-being and education of children based on at least three important kinds of information or knowledge: [1] what is known about child development and learning; ... [2] what is known about each child as an individual; ... [3] and what is known about the social and cultural contexts in which children live" (Copple & Bredekamp, 2009, pp. 9-10). Several of the articles reviewed here focus on the applicability of the DAP guidelines to young children with special needs.
