(Unit 4) Topic 5: Supporting Families with Special Needs

3 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

Families with Special Needs

​Topic 5 Page 2

Families come in all shapes, sizes, and makeups. Blended, part-time, military, special needs; they are all families just the same. Each family has its own norms, challenges, and needs and families who have a member who has special needs are no different. They simply have a different set of challenges. 

Whether a parent of a child in your program has a special need or the child in your program has a special need, it is important to understand the specific set of challenges that this family may have and how you can best support them.

​This topic is designed to give teachers, directors, administrators and other leaders information and resources about how to best support families with special needs. Let’s begin diving into this concept to support those three categories.
