<br/><br/>"As more and more children with special needs are welcomed into primary classrooms, teachers are searching for ways to ensure that they have plenty of opportunity to share in literacy activities with their classmates. In Language, Literacy and Children with Special Needs, Sally M. Rogow draws on the stories of real youngsters in real classrooms to show how this can happen. Specific strategies for developing language awareness in a variety of situations are liberally illustrated with sensitive descriptions of the children's responses and concrete examples of their work. Dr. Rogow's firm conviction that inclusion benefits everyone pervades this book and is a source of inspiration for all teachers involved with children and special needs.  For more than 20 years, Sally Rogow has directed the University of British Columbia's preparation program for itinerant and resource teachers working with children who are blind or visually impaired, or who have multiple disabilities. Her research interests include language and social development and literacy. The author of Helping the Visually Impaired Child with Developmental Problems, Dr. Rogow has written more than 40 articles for various journals and frequently lectures in Canada and the United States. She is also a writer of children's books and a storyteller."
