Supporting Social and Emotional Learning for Children with Disabilities

"Developing social and emotional skills are important for all young children! Making and keeping friends, solving social problems, and paying attention to emotions are key skills for children to learn during their early years. After all, social and emotional development is the foundation for lifelong learning and development. Learning these critical skills is especially important for young children with disabilities and suspected delays. Many children with disabilities may struggle with these skills, but we know successful social and emotional development leads to future positive outcomes in many different areas. This Inclusion Series [from the Office of Head Start National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching and Learning] webinar explores powerful individualized strategies to support social and emotional learning for children with disabilities and suspected delays."
