Abstract [sv]

I Sverige har föräldrar möjlighet att bestämma över sina barns vistelse innan skolstart, vilken kan bestå avförskola, pedagogisk omsorg eller i hemmet. Dock är det endast förskolan som har fått en skolförberedanderoll gällande barns språk- och kunskapsutveckling. Det är problematiskt eftersom forskning visar på vikten avtidig identifiering och stöttning angående barn som befinner sig i språklig sårbarhet. I denna studie användslongitudinella data från sex elever födda 2003 till och med årskurs 6 i en kommun i Sverige vilka tidigt iden-tifierats vara i behov av specialpedagogiskt stöd gällande deras språkutveckling. Syftet med studien är attfå en fördjupad bild av identifieringen och det specialpedagogiska stödet för dessa barn i språklig utsatthet.Dessutom är syftet också att jämföra det specialpedagogiska stödet med barnens resultat i svenskämnettill årskurs 6. Empirin består av två dokument; intervju med de två specialpedagoger som är involverademed barnen före skolstart, mejlkorrespondens med en specialpedagog som har det övergripande ansvareti kommunen, en av rektorerna från skolorna samt resultat från nationella prov i årskurs 3 och årskurs 6 i sven-ska och betyg i svenska i årskurs 6. Resultaten indikerar betydelsen av tidiga specialpedagogiska insatser iförskolan för en framgångsrik skolgång.

The Importance of Early Special Education Support in Preschool for Successful Schooling

In Sweden, parents decide if children attend preschool or stay home before formal schooling. This choice impacts language development because it is only preschools, unlike other early care, that have a curriculum focused on language. This is problematic since some children during these years exhibit what is termed “linguistic vulnerability,” i.e., a gap between their language skills and environmental demands. This can affect various aspects of the children’s lives, including their participation in play, desire to learn, development of behavior problems, and future literacy skills. Some preschool teachers feel unprepared to handle linguistic vulnerabilities. Special needs educators, therefore, become important in identifying and supporting these children. Yet research on special education in preschool is limited. Our longitudinal study followed six children born in 2003 who identified as needing special educational support in language development, and they were observed until their sixth year of school. The primary goal of the study was to gain a comprehensive understanding of how children with linguistic vulnerabilities are identified and supported and to assess the effectiveness of such support by comparing it with the children’s academic results in Swedish language studies up to year six. Data included test results, grades, records of special education efforts, interviews with two special educators in preschool, and email correspondence with a special educator and a principal from the schools involved. Our findings emphasize early special education’s importance in preschool, highlighting the role of diverse semiotic resources in supporting children with linguistic vulnerabilities.
