Discussion Post #5: Academic Readiness Assessment

Part 1: Post your own definition of school readiness (and offer support for your definition from the readings; Remember to use APA style citations to identify the sources of this support)? Be sure to discuss specific screening tools, instruments, or other tools/approaches to assess the preparedness of children entering Kindergarten. These should be directly related to your definition.

Part 2: Given what you’ve learned about intellectual disability, discuss at least 3 challenges to school readiness young children with intellectual disabilities face when entering Kindergarten.
