Written for teachers, early care and education personnel, educational administrators, therapists, families, and others who work with or on behalf of children from birth through 8 years of age who have identified disabilities, developmental delays, are gifted/talented, or are considered at-risk for future developmental challenges, Young Exceptional Children (YEC) offers useful, friendly articles that help readers implement research-based strategies and interventions to support inclusive practices across early childhood settings.

  • Identifying, Promoting, and Monitoring Child and Family Outcomes
  • Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Practice
  • Developmentally Appropriate Practices for a Range of Young Learners Considered At-Risk or Diagnosed with Disabilities
  • Early Language and Literacy Development Strategies
  • Embedding Interventions within Naturally Occurring Home, School, and Community Routines
  • Facilitating Bi/Multilingualism
  • Promoting Access, Participation, and Supports for All Learners
  • Engaging in Early Childhood Policy
  • Practitioner Well-Being
  • Critical Reflection for Practitioners
  • Democratic Partnerships Amongst Early Childhood Stakeholders including Families
  • Equitable and Authentic Assessment

Each issue also provides “From Article to Action,” which offers ideas for using selected YEC articles in each issue. 

The only journal that focuses on children with special needs from birth through 8 years old, each peer-reviewed issue presents practical ideas for parents and professionals that promote learning and development in the classroom and at home.

Young Exceptional Children (YEC) is designed for teachers, early care and education personnel, administrators, therapists, family members, and others who work with or on behalf of children, ages birth to eight, who have identified disabilities, developmental delays, are gifted/talented, or are considered at-risk of future developmental delays or challenges. One of the goals of the journal is to translate research findings into inclusive practices that are effective and useful for practitioners and families. Thus, articles should have a sound base in theory or research, yet be reader-friendly and written for a broad audience.
