Special Education
What's New: HELP 3-6 (2nd Edition) is the long-awaited update to our best-selling and formerly entitled "HELP for Preschoolers" family of curriculum-based materials. The 2nd Edition includes three new Strands (Self Regulation, Dramatic Play, Time), along with 12 new behaviors/skills, and improved age-ranges, wording, and definitions on over 100 of the behaviors/skills, the removal of some items to better align with HELP 0-3, and updating of many of the assessment procedures, adaptations, and instructional activities. For continuity between editions, the behavior/skill ID numbers remain unchanged from "HELP for Preschoolers."
