The background research leading to this chapter probed into the nature of disposition and dominant patterns of feelings displayed b typically developing siblings towards children with special needs arising out of communication disorders. The resultant findings may contribute of facilitation of constructive relationship between them. A survey type of research design was adopted for the purpose of collecting relevant data from primary caregivers of 34 children with communication disorders resulting from either sensory impairments, or neurodevelopmental disorders. An emotional-behavioral rating scale including 10 common dispositions of siblings towards children with special needs had been developed for the purpose following review of relevant literature. The caregiver-participants were to rate the frequency of manifestation of the emotions of behaviors described on a four-pointing rating scale of never, sometimes, often or always. Other relevant information like number of siblings, order of birth, gender of children with special needs, as well as educational and socio-economic status of the caregivers were collected. Analysis of the data revealed feelings of concern and care predominantly prevalent among siblings of children with special needs. Nevertheless, there is scope for further shaping the positive dispositions into constructive behaviors that support optimal development of children with special needs.

Informed consent from parents was obtained. The study sample was 21 children aged 3-6 years which consisted of 12 boys and 9 girls. Data were tested by Spearman correlation. Result: The result showed that 85.7% of the children had ECC. The result also showed significant association between ECC in the child and the age of the mother (r= 0.453, p=0.018), education level of the mother (r=0.741, p=0.0001), social status (r=0.807, p=0.0061) and other income (r=0.527, p=0.050).

Children come to early childhood programs with a wide range of learning abilities, languages, cultural backgrounds, and educational experiences. Most classrooms also include children with special needs or exceptional children, who differ from these typically developing children to such a degree that an individualized program of adapted, specialized education is required to meet their needs (Heward, 2009). This chapter provides a framework for the use of technology to assist these exceptional children in early childhood and primary level classrooms.

Early Childhood Interventions

Experiences in early childhood have a great influence on a child's physical and mental development. Early childhood interventions are widely accepted as an effective way to prevent learning difficulties and to promote healthy development for children with special needs. For this reason, it is important for teachers who will work with children with special needs or children who are at risk to have sufficient knowledge about early childhood intervention and be competent in this area. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the views of preservice special education teachers about early childhood intervention. This study used quantitative research method and a questionnaire form was used to collect the data. The results are discussed in detail with reference to relevant literature. Implications and recommendations for further research are also provided in order to improve the quality of education policies, programs and practices related with early childhood intervention and increase awareness and knowledge related with early childhood interventions among teacher candidates.           Keywords: Early childhood, early intervention, preservice special education teachers, views.

Parenting Pattern

The purpose of this study was to investigate  the patterns of care of children with special needs in Sjakitarius Foundation Singaraja. The research employed a case study design, including 30 children with special needs, their parents, and teachers. The data were obtained through observation, interview, and document recording. Then the data were processed by using a snow ball technique. The study reveals three themes. Firstly, children with special needs had a tendency to have social interaction deficits (narrow, very limited) with a 74% presentation. They also experienced as many as 85% verbal and nonverbal communication disorders with repeat stereotype, and restricted (95%) stereotype or interest, as well as  behavior (100%), which occurs before the age of three. Secondly, the appropriate parenting pattern applied by parents to children with special needs is begun with (1) becoming a parent who deserves to imitate children, (2) not educating children at a cost that cannot be banned by their parents, (3) discipline still must be prioritized in guiding children, (4) putting forward and cultivating early on religion and good moral in children, (5) communication is done openly and fun with certain limitations, (6) avoiding negative actions toward children. Lastly, the appropriate parenting patterns applied by teachers to children with special needs are initiated by (1) becoming a creative and innovative teacher, (2) having unlimited patience, (3) being a positive model, (4)   communicating openly like a parent, (5) avoiding negative behaviours.

The Impact

Concerns regarding academic burden on students, especially students with special needs and unsatisfactory quality of learning has been talked about time and again. The problem has been discussed extensively by several committees, with several recommendations on reducing the academic burden on the students. But instead, the problem has grown more acute with the passing time and increased competition. This problem of academic burden manifests itself in many ways for our children with special needs, the most common being behaviour problems and sometimes academic under achievement. The situation has become worse over the years even with children  both typically developing and with special needs attending pre- schools carrying a bag full of books and notebooks. It is very hard to reconcile the rigorous ‘academic’ regime that is imposed on children with hearing impairment from an early age with the widespread complaint made about moving at the same pace with the typically developing children and competitive ethos of the later school years. The pernicious grip of this false argument manifests itself in strange preschool and primary schools practices like early emphasis on shapely writing, memorizing information and so on.  One message of this situation is that both the child and the teacher have lost the ‘joy of learning’. This study aimed at investigating the impact of overload or academic burden of the curriculum on children with hearing impairment and how it affects the psychological well being of these children. The study proposed to develop tool to identify the factors leading to stress in these children with special needs and then correlate with the academic performance and behaviour problems, if any.
