Foundational Skills: Assessment and Intervention is a comprehensive and evidence-based resource that integrates early childhood education, developmental science, and inclusive learning.
Structured in three parts, the book begins with the study of foundational skills in typically developing children, followed by targeted interventions for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, and concludes with an Indian perspective on intervention strategies. Authored by experts in developmental pediatrics and early education, it bridges research and practice to equip educators, clinicians, and policymakers with actionable tools for assessment and intervention.
The book aligns closely with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2022), making it an essential guide for advancing foundational literacy, numeracy, and holistic child development.
