Reviews: 

A good primer that will help parents considering preschool understand the services available for their children with special needs, this is recommended.  «««

This video provides a good overview for parents of children who may need special education services before they are the traditional school age.  Schools providing this service can use this video to help educate parents so they can become partners in their children’s education.

Recognizing that even admitting one’s child may have special needs is difficult; the video is upbeat and positive encouraging and guiding parents through the evaluation and education process.

With a philosophy of family involvement, this useful title also covers the transitions to kindergarten.
