Development, Disabilities, and Diversity

About this book

The second edition of Young Children's Play offers an updated and comprehensive introduction to play and development from birth to age 8.

This edition includes new real-life examples that illustrate various play types, including dramatic play, motor play, humor, and rough-and-tumble play. This edition provides additional practical strategies for supporting the play of all children, including those of diverse cultural backgrounds.

The book continues to address the needs of both typically developing children and those with diverse developmental profiles, including children on the autism spectrum and those with other cognitive and physical disabilities. It features learning objectives and reflection questions in each chapter, encouraging deeper engagement and understanding. It also clarifies and updates terminology and language that reflects current research and best practices.

This book continues to be an essential resource for students and professionals studying early childhood and special education, as well as teachers and parents.
