Book Description

Using The Carolina Curriculum is simple. Each age-appropriate volume includes more than 20 teaching sequences on skill areas such as attention and memory, conversation skills, and problem solving. For each skill area, professionals get a list of associated behaviors, guidelines that help elicit each behavior, and functional activities to encourage the behaviors in the child's daily routines. Each volume contains all the support professionals need to conduct successful assessment and intervention, including step-by-step instructions, lists of required materials, and suggestions for adaptations to use with children who have visual and motor impairments. The Carolina Curriculum includes - The Carolina Curriculum for Infants & Toddlers with Special Needs (CCITSN), Third Edition (birth to 36 months). CCITSN includes 24 teaching sequences covering 5 developmental domains: cognition, communication, social adaptation, fine motor, and gross motor. - The Carolina Curriculum for Preschoolers with Special Needs (CCPSN), Second Edition (24 to 60 months). CCPSN consists of 22 logical teaching sequences, covering the 5 developmental domains addressed in CCITSN. CCPSN targets more advanced, age-appropriate behaviors and includes suggestions for group activities for preschools or child care centers. - The Carolina Curriculum Forms. Each volume includes an Assessment Log, a straightforward form that helps users record data about the child's performance of hundreds of skills, and a Developmental Progress Chart that helps users summarize in minutes what they learned from the assessment. The English versions of the forms are also available for purchase in packages of 10, as a CD-ROM, or asdownloadable PDFs; Spanish versions of the forms can be purchased only as downloadable PDFs.
