This self-instructional curriculum module was developed to assist with early childhood special education program planning, by providing references to curricula and textbooks, curriculum guides, journal articles, videos, and demonstration model materials appropriate for self-instruction. The module is designed to help individuals locate information for self-instruction leading to three levels of knowledge: awareness; practical working knowledge; or expert. The module builds on identified key competencies for preschool personnel by connecting appropriate references and materials to specific content areas and competencies. Content areas include: model intervention programs and service delivery options; environmental characteristics and developmentally appropriate curriculum; methods for specific disabilities, individualized planning, and individualized education program development; methods for systematic instruction within a developmentally appropriate curriculum; family focused intervention; and evaluation of child and family outcomes.
