Developmentally Appropriate Practice: Appraising Its Usefulness for Young Children with Disabilities.
Carta, Judith J.; And Others
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v11 n1 p1-20 Spr 1991
This article reviews the rationales and premises of the Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) approach and early childhood special education (ECSE), highlighting areas of overlap. DAP's insufficiencies for planning, implementing, and evaluating ECSE programs are noted. A selective literature review clarifies issues separating the two areas, and standards are offered for evaluating all ECSE programs. (Author/JDD)
