The techniques and materials discussed in this paper are designed especially for the child's unique abilities and disabilities. This paper will also focus on the skills needed for infants who have been identified as requiring intervention strategies as they transition into pre-school and kindergarten programs. Strategies will be provided for parents who reinforce the skills and behaviors at home. (Contains 18 footnotes and 1 figure.)
