Special Needs in Daycare: Supporting Communication
Type: PDF
License: CCBY
Description: Daycares can support children with special needs by creating inclusive communication environments that use predictable routines, visual supports, and clear, simplified language. Implementing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools—like picture cards, sign language, and speech-generating devices—and training staff to recognize and respond to varied communication attempts helps children express needs and join activities. Collaborating closely with families and therapists to develop individualized communication plans and consistent strategies across home and daycare improves progress and emotional well-being. #communication #special-needs #inclusion
