Book excerpt: Maria Montessori began her journey in education working with children in an asylum and others who lived in the city slums. Her method and materials were first developed based on observations of children she worked with in these settings. So often parents and teachers wonder if Montessori is right for children with special needs. After six years of experience using the Montessori Method with my own four special children with various developmental, emotional and physical diagnoses, I'm here to say YES! It's a perfect fit. The key to success is understanding how the Montessori and special needs worlds work together. Maria Montessori was years ahead of her time in her observations and solutions to problems educators face when teaching children with special needs. Her work is only beginning to receive the recognition it deserves. This book provides explanations, resources, and tips on how Montessori can help a child with special needs succeed in learning.
