    About this audiobook

    From Cradle to Classroom: A Guide to Special Education for Young Children is a guide written for regular and special education teachers, school administrators, school psychologists, related educational personnel, day care providers, parents, graduate students, and policy makers who work on behalf of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to ensure they are ready for formal education when they reach age 5. It reflects a keen understanding that early interventions are most effective in reducing the potential for special education or other support services later in a child’s development.

    Research shows the benefits of investing in early intervention and high-quality preschool as a way to mitigate educational gaps in learning and to improve the development of children across all domains (Executive Office of the President of the United States, 2015; Lynch & Vaghul, 2015; Yoshikawa et al., 2013). Throughout the book, readers will find strategies to help atypical children navigate the world as they move from infancy to toddler-hood, and to preschool and beyond. The chapters dig deep and offer expansive understandings of the components necessary to ensure young children, especially those with exceptionalities, become successful students.

    Nicholas D. Young

    Dr. Nicholas D. Young has worked in diverse roles in education for more than twenty years, serving as a director of student services, principal, graduate professor, higher education administrator, and superintendent of schools. He is presently the Superintendent of Schools for the South Hadley Public Schools located in South Hadley, MA. Dr. Young is a licensed psychologist who has earned numerous degrees from Austin Peay State University, Westfield State University, Western New England University, Union Institute & University and American International College, including a Ph.D. in Educational Administration and an Ed.D. in Psychology. He previously served as the President of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, completed a distinguished Fulbright Program focused on Japanese educational systems, and was recognized as the Massachusetts Superintendent of the Year in 2010. He has served for more than twenty-eight years to date in the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserves; and he is currently the Commanding Officer for the 405th Combat Support Hospital, USAR, located in West Hartford, CT. Dr. Young is frequent presenter at state, national and international conferences and has published widely on a number of topics in education, leadership, and psychology, to include co-authoring or co-edited/co-authoring several books. Dr. Young grew up in the small rural community of Alstead located in southern New Hampshire where he would spend many of his weekends and summer days hiking in the large local woods. He also vacationed nearly every summer with his parents and three older brothers in the great State of Maine, which is the setting for this book.. Dr Young now resides with his family in South Hadley, MA, to include his two children, a 10-year old son and a 16-year old daughter, and his two golden retrievers, Katie and Abby. As the local school superintendent and a career long educator, Dr. Young is committed to helping children understand the importance of being respectful to others and to living a life of service, which are the primary lessons of this story.
