This booklet is designed to assist families, child care providers, and advocates in planning and delivering child care for children with disabilities and special health care needs. The booklet defines the term inclusion and discusses common misconceptions about children with special needs and disabilities. It explains what the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires of child care providers, using a question and answer format. The team approach to providing services for children with special needs is described and the role of the child care provider on the team is discussed. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the major early childhood provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) are also reviewed. The booklet then provides lists of national organizations and other resources for children with special needs, a list of commonly used acronyms and abbreviations, descriptions of common medical conditions and disorders, a dictionary of special education terms, and six references.
