Welcome to the mysterious world of Holmes and Watson. You may be a person who enjoys the challenge of puzzles. Many people who are linear like facts and want to have the challenge of juxtaposing them within puzzles. Some linear people do not.

1. Recognize that each person is unique and special in important ways as well as similar to all of us in very discrete and discernible ways.

2. Demonstrate an understanding of normal child development and the educational implications for youngsters who differ markedly from growth norms.

3. List critical components of physical, nutritional, cultural and environmental factors that influence rate and quality of learning.

4. Learn to identify and name the ten categories of eligibility that mandate who will receive services through IDEA 1997.

5. Recognize specific characteristics that distinguish children and their needs in each of the ten services categories.
