Assessing Preschoolers with Special Needs
Tuition: $31.50
Description of Training Session:
Early intervention helps preschool children with special needs gain skills to prevent learning disabilities. Identification of children with special needs is important because several stages must be completed before a child is provided services. If a child needs, but does not receive services, a learning disability is likely to develop.
This lesson provides background information about types of special needs, assessment for diagnosing and evaluating special needs, and legislation protecting children with special needs.

Reviews for this Online Course
- I thought the live chat was great! Posted by sarah on 9th Jul 2014
somebody was always there when i needed help, and when they werent, it only took less than a minute for someone to reply back to my question. they were always ready to help and answer questions. i loved it. great help for online training. this was a must! - Thank you Posted by Amy on 16th Apr 2014
The online format makes it convenient to complete the class without neglecting my family or my teaching time. - Great for my learning style! Posted by Cathy on 28th Mar 2014
The Auditory, Visual AND Verbal contributions helped MY learning style.
Breaking the sections down into segmented groupings was very helpful, and the Q&A's in between were helpful, as well as entertaining, and broke up any 'monotony'. It also helped me to process the material in a different way, before going onto the next section. This then helped me to remember more of the specifics during the test.
I Appreciated sooo much that techs are available to sort thru any issues, by live chat or phone. - The live chat is great! Posted by Shelia on 11th Feb 2014
I looked at several sights and this sight was the ONLY one that gave me instant communication to have questions answered. There were two sights I narrowed it down to and the deciding factor to go with this program was the live chat!! - Great Flexibility Posted by Keri on 29th Jan 2014
I liked the flexibility of stopping after an hour and then returning to the same page at a later time. I was provided with support, when I had "techniical" difficulties answering a question. I enjoyed the review question sections after each chapter.
