CE2004 Early Intervention(Written Response)

CE2004: Assessment Instructions

Review the details of your assessment including the rubric. You will have the ability to submit the assessment once you earn a score of 80% or better on all of the related sub-competency quizzes and engage with your Faculty Subject Matter Expert (SME) in a substantive way about the competency.

Overview

This Written Response consists of seven items related to key components of Early Intervention through the example of a young child with a possible developmental delay. You will draw on knowledge of definitions and development, the process for referral and identification, characteristics of Individualized Family Services Plans (IFSPs), and details of Early Intervention services for a child and family, including principles and practices of Early Intervention Home Visiting.

Note: Rather than refer to children who are receiving support through the special education system as children  with disabilities, this Competency uses the phrase  children with exceptionalities. The term  children with exceptionalities includes children who are experiencing identified challenges with development, emotions, and/or learning because of one or more specific exceptionalities. (Often children are screened and identified with more than one exceptionality.) The early childhood field also uses the term  children with varying abilities in an effort to acknowledge that everyone varies in their abilities and not only those children who are officially identified with exceptionalities.

Professional Skills:  Written Communication is assessed in this Competency.
