  1. How do the following conditions of pregnancy pose a risk to a fetus: maternal/gestational diabetes, Rh sensitization, and premature rupture of membranes? (you must address all three to receive full credit on this question)
  2. Explain how early intervention Part C is organized in California. Include which agencies are responsible for serving children birth to three who are at-risk or have a disability.
  3. Review the sample IFSP (starts on page 353) and sample IEP (starts on page 372) in your Howard text. Describe three ways in which an IFSP differs from an IEP.
  4. Lynch and Hanson assert that “until one understands the impact of his or her own culture, language, race and ethnicity on attitudes, beliefs and values and ways of  thinking and behaving, it is not possible to fully appreciate the cultures of others.” How does this relate to early childhood special education?
  5. Discuss some aspects of SPED 400 that increased your knowledge about Early Childhood Special Education and young children with disabilities.
