Making sure that young children with special educational needs have the right support is a top priority for all early years settings, but spotting additional needs can be tricky.

From an award-winning author team, the advice contained here will empower you, and give you the confidence to identify and plan for the needs of every child in your care.

Topics discussed in chapters are as follows:

- observation and assessment of needs

- physical development, and how to spot problems

- communication, language and literacy, and how to spot difficulties

- personal, social and emotional development, in line with the holistic child emphasis of the EYFS

There are also:
