Early Intervention and Special Educational and Services in the State of Georgia

Each state provides early educational and special educational services according to eligibility criteria set by the state legislature. Since there are significant variations in eligibility criteria, it results in different numbers of children served and different challenges faced by parents and their children.

On the web, locate one early intervention service and one special educational school service available in your state. Review their websites carefully. Then write a 3-5 page double-spaced essay, addressing the following:
First provide basic information, such as organization name, location, and contact information..
In 1-2 paragraphs, describe the early intervention services available through this organization, including any eligibility criteria..
In 1-2 paragraphs, describe the special educational services available, including eligibility criteria and information on how parents can access the services..
In 3-4 paragraphs, share your impressions as someone who might one day refer a family to these services. What did you observe about the websites? For example, how easy/difficult was it for you to find the information on services and assessment process?.
To what extent did the program appear inclusive of different types of disabilities and needs?.
How user-friendly was the information?.
How accessible do you think the program would be for families in various geographic locations, e.g. extreme rural locations, high-crime inner city areas, suburban areas, etc.?.
What barriers did you identify for families and/or the children themselves?.
.
Include a concluding paragraph that states your overall impressions of these resources..

This essay should be 3-5 pages in length and double-spaced. Avoid short answer or bulleted responses. Use complete sentences and segue between paragraphs. This assignment requires a critical evaluation of the two resources you are describing. Remember that copying and pasting from a website is considered plagiarism and will result in a failing grade.

Be sure to include a reference page formatted in APA 6 style.
