Young Children with Special Needs: Prevalence and Implications in Nova Scotia
Mots-clés :
Early childhood education, Special education, Nova Scotia, Early intervention, Preschool childrenRésumé
Dans une étude axée sur les enfants de la Nouvelle-Écosse de cinq ans et moins ayant des besoins spéciaux et sur les services qui leur sont offerts, des questionnaires ont été envoyés à toutes les écoles ayant une maternelle, à tous les infirmiers et infirmières hygiénistes de la province et aux directeurs de tous les centres offrant aux enfants d’âge préscolaire des programmes d’une journée ou de quelques heures par jour. Les réponses à ces questionnaires indiquent que les enfants ayant des besoins spéciaux requièrent plus de services professionnels et davantage de programmes. Un grand nombre des difficultés éprouvées par les enfants ne sont pas décelées avant qu’ils ne commencent l’école, ce qui a de graves répercussions sur leur rendement scolaire par la suite.
