This important book is an exploration of the ways parents, teachers and academics view the development and schooling of young children with disabilities. It offers an in-depth examination of the common and critical issues that emerge as children and their families first enter the school system, navigate the educational landscape and learn to advocate for their rights. Each chapter of the book presents a parent’s perspective of significant issues, followed by a teacher’s perspective. From their stories, numerous themes are identified and connected to the academic literature. The experiences shared and the literature reviewed address the challenges, successes and opportunities for increased understanding that emerge as parents and educators work together toward a common goal. Sharing Perspectives for Educating Young Children with Disabilities is essential reading for all pre-service and in-service early childhood and special education professionals and parents engaging in the process of listening carefully to others with the aim of supporting the education of young children.

Reviews for Sharing Perspectives for Educating Young Children with Disabilities: Developing Family and Professional Partnerships

“This book is unique in that it incorporates first person perspectives from multiple stakeholders in family-professional collaboration. There is just enough historical and academic background information to bring greater meaning to readers’ understanding of how policy and practices have changed over time [and,] the style is particularly user-friendly and engaging. The language is clear and promotes a sense of positivity.” --Susan Recchia, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Teachers College, Columbia University “This is the first book I have seen that is organized around parent, teacher, and academic’s perspectives. In my work with early childhood/special education undergraduate and graduate students, collaborating with families is one of the most difficult aspects of learning how to teach. This book offers stories that students in education and in-service programs can relate to and learn from.” --Seung Eun McDevitt, Ed.D., Associate Professor, Rowan University “This text delivers both breadth and depth in its examination of themes and constructs most vital to supporting families and young children with disabilities. Complex topics including historical frameworks, constructs, and legislation, intersectionality of race and disability, and advocacy and social justice are presented in an engaging and nuanced way. This text will be a valuable resource in teacher education coursework.” --Victoria Puig, Ed.D., Associate Professor, Montclair State University
