• allowing much practice time • reinforcing the child’s efforts Play is the foundation for learning. Teachers plan a curriculum that uses play as the medium for learning. Play for ALL children is generally inclusive in three (3) areas of learning: 1. About themselves – self-image, competent, independent, and good feelings about themselves as a learner. 2. About the world around them – communication, social skills, observation, initiative, choice, and task completion. They respond to parents and community. 3. About problem-solving – observation, investigation, prediction, changes, compromise, and solve problems socially. A good environment for children with different needs and abilities reflects the teacher’s knowledge of inclusion for all children. Assistive technology supports, materials (various sizes, weights, textures, colors), accessible puzzles, chairs, toilet, handles, space, and playground may be needed to enhance the learning environment. Competence in self-care is a major goal in approaches to learning. The more proficient a child is in caring for his personal needs, the less support he will need to be successful in an inclusive setting. Self-care skills are learned behaviors and can be integrated with all areas of the curriculum—name, color, texture, perceptual motor, language. Some different abilities are multiple and affect several areas of development. Teachers and parents must be diligent in observing for signs of other needs. The teacher’s role is to provide current information and resources and be available to consult with the team who is working in the best interests of the child. The child care professional is not an expert in diagnosing, but can be very effective in helping parents secure referrals and treatments. Positive reinforcement, interesting and appropriate materials, and knowledgeable teacher support are the basis for developing genuine interest and positive reactions from each child with different needs and abilities. 15
