Assistive Technology for Young Children.
Kelker, Katharin A.
Early Childhood Bulletin, Spr 1993
This issue of the "Early Childhood Bulletin" explains the developmental and learning implications of play for very young children and outlines ways in which assistive technology can open doors to play for children with disabilities. The importance of incorporating assistive technology into a child's early intervention program through the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is discussed, and definitions for related terminology from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is included.
