<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>The early detection of children with special needs is very important for educators, as they require special handling in the learning process so that they can develop optimally. The first important level for early detection is the early childhood education level. Early childhood teachers become agents who play a major role of early detection. Problems that occur due to late diagnosis of children with special needs often lead to learning and behavioural problems. If not handled properly, these disturbances will continue to the next level of further education. Knowledge of various types of disorders and early intervention in children with special needs must be the responsibility of early childhood education teachers to reduce the negative effects of any disruption that may occur. In order to assist teachers in early detection, this paper presents a study related to various developmental disorders that occur in children with special needs and the skills, techniques and steps that are needed for early detection. </span></p></div></div></div>

Inclusive Learning

This study aims to analyze the extent of the implementation of inclusive education in early childhood education institutions in Indonesia. Inclusive education at an early age begins by accommodating the needs of children, identifying the special needs of children, and mapping the development potential and barriers of children now and in the future. Inclusive education provides opportunities for children with special needs to get an equal education. The practice of the inclusive education system implemented at the level of early childhood education still leaves problems, the implementation of inclusive education which is apparently still not inclusive. The issue of educators, supporting facilities, and inclusive education curricula in early childhood education institutions is also not yet capable Inclusive education in Indonesia must involve parents, teachers and the environment, the implementation of inclusive education in Indonesia leads to the goal of inclusive learning that provides the broadest opportunities- breadth to all children including children with special needs to get proper education in accordance with their needs.

Children’S Development

Autism is a developmental condition that can be detected in early childhood. Early intervention can improve outcomes, though many children are not identified until they reach primary school. Early childhood educators are well placed to monitor children’s development and identify those who may benefit from additional supports, though implementation of standardised tools and processes is limited. The National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia has increased the onus on educators to support families to access funded services. A workshop on evidence-informed practice in early detection for autism was provided for early childhood professionals. The theory of practice architectures informed development and analysis of pre- and post-workshop surveys to explore changes in early childhood educators’ perspectives on factors influencing universal developmental monitoring and referrals to early intervention supports using an evidence-based tool, the Social Attention and Communication Surveillance-Revised (SACS-R). Post-workshop increases in early childhood educators’ perceived knowledge and confidence are evident, though recent policy reforms present challenges. Population surveillance using SACS-R in early childhood education is effective for identification and referral for children who have autism, and capacity building for professionals to use SACS-R is recommended.
