Inclusive childcare

Who are children with special needs?

Children with special needs develop differently or more slowly:

• Motor: the child is limited in his movements.
• Sensory: the child is visually impaired, blind, hearing-impaired or deaf.
• Cognitive: the child learns new things more slowly than other children of the same age.
• Children with a long-term illness.
• Children who temporarily need extra care. For example, children that need tube feeding or children needing therapy.
