  • Many of the categories you are reading about refer to conditions that are present at birth, but there is some reason to believe that the support provided during infancy and early childhood could minimize some of the disabilities. Are there any laws that mandate support to preschool children? If so, what are they and how are they carried out in the state where you plan to teach?

  • Child Find has been in effect for several decades. What impact has it had?

  • Sam Kirk is a pioneer in Educational Specialties. Eventually, he moved to Tucson. What is his legacy and how did this one life change our profession?

  • Some research suggests that there are critical periods - times that cannot be recaptured if a child misses them. One of the clearest has to do with acquisition of language. What are the current beliefs about timing in acquiring a first language? Compare and contrast those findings with the theories about children who acquire a second language or who acquire two languages. How does this inform teaching practices?

  • What is Infant Stimulation and what services are available in your community? What does the research say about its effectiveness?

  • What are Assistive devices and what kind of Assistive technology is available to children? How do teachers gain access to this information? What does research tell us about this area of support for children?
