Early Childhood Education for Children with Disabilities in New Zealand By Lesley Adams, Manager New Zealand CCS, North Taranaki and Pat Hanley, National Policy Manager, New Zealand CCS, Wellington There have been significant changes in New Zealand over the past decade in the development and delivery of Early Intervention Programmes. This year has seen the formation of The Early Intervention Association of Aotearoa New Zealand* and the first National Early Intervention Conference. The approach for Early Intervention in New Zealand is family focused, meaning that the services will focus on the child within the context of the Parent/Whanau/Caregiver* in the wider context of the community. It is based on partnership between the service providers and the Parent/Whanau/ Caregiver. The intent is to adopt the least intrusive model of intervention from all service providers. Progress over 10 years New special education policy During the early 1990's significant work was undertaken to develop a specific policy to address the needs of students with disabilities and special needs. This work resulted in the "Special Education 2000" Policy. The implementation of this robust policy began in 1997 with an expectation that it would be completed by the year 2000. The aims of this policy are: * To improve educational opportunities and outcomes for children with special needs in the early childhood and school sectors * To ensure there is a clear, consistent and predictable resourcing framework for special education and

Most come and go very quickly while a very few find a niche somewhere and meet a market need. Video-ethnography is an example of the second type of software tool because its use of computer technology in the ethnographic research process enables visual, oral and textual resource involvement resulting in greater accuracy of conclusions. Video-ethnographic research introduces a visual and oral dimension to the research process, enabling the researcher to actually record interviews and events, reducing the reliance on the "picture painted by words" with its attendant error, enriching the study with actual visual footage of the subject(s), their thinking and actions as well as events. Chan and Harris (2001) have created a process and product using video ethnography recorded on compact disks employing a customized template format. References: Ashman, A. (1995).
