Exceptional Learners

Over the decades, it is evident that exceptional learners have been excluded from participating in international assessments such as OECD’s PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) due to their disabilities. Drawing on the interdisciplinary theories and perspectives of educational assessment, measurement, and early childhood special education, the paper discusses the potential benefits young children with special needs may gain from the International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study (IELS), as well as considering caveats and challenges accompanying the use of IELS for these young special education populations. In particular, it raises a range of questions about what and how to collect, validly interpret, and use the IELS data to enhance early learning and development of exceptional learners in participating countries. Finally, the paper discusses accommodations that promote inclusionary assessment practices and level the playing field for young children with special needs.

Toy Play

Special needs children have different needs compared to typically growing children in various aspects of life. Their learning is hampered due to the difficulties they face in the normal way of learning. Special education practices have been adopting various play-based methods to address special needs children's difficulties and needs. This research reviews toy play as a learning method and its importance in young special needs children's education. The paper takes different perspectives on play and how it is characterized. A study of Toy Play taxonomies is also presented from the perspective of the learning needs of special needs children. Three prominent special education approaches are studied, and a synthesis of how to play fits into these approaches is presented. The future of toy play and further research areas is discussed. Early childhood play is a normal phenomenon that has much use in early intervention, early childhood special education, and early childhood education. Among these areas, there are still many disagreements about how to characterize and use play. These tensions jeopardize evaluation, action, and curriculum planning practices, as well as their links to science and practice. This essay examines play in early learning, early childhood special education, early childhood education, and how play is viewed and used in these settings.
