It will also discuss some interventions that a school counselor could implement in schools to support a child who lives in poverty and their family.

The Importance Of Symbolic Play As A Component Of The Early Childhood Curriculum, Sheila Reed
Essays in Education
Educational research has linked the quality of early childhood education programs to a reduction in special education enrollment and later academic success (Smith, 2004).
