CHD 210 Introduction to Exceptional Children
From taking this course I have learned to understand the extreme importance of early intervention as well as the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The many different services that IDEA provides to help support children and families were also topics that were covered thoroughly. I gained knowledge about the history and legal foundation of early childhood special education. I have also learned about typical versus atypical development in children so that I know how to detect problem signs when they first appear. When teaching in a classroom with a special needs child, I know now how to create an appropriate curriculum and adapt materials and activities to include all of the children for an inclusive classroom. My artifact for this course is an Annotated bibliography showcasing Autism. I did extensive research through books, journals, and internet sources to gain knowledge about types of Autism, Autism detection, its history and much more. From doing this assignment, I have learned all about Autism and can use this knowledge to spot the warning signs and keep parent’s informed.
