    Description
    This course provides an overview of the developmental variations of exceptional children from birth through age twenty-one, including the historical and legislative foundation for civil rights and education services for individuals with disabilities. Emphasis is given to identifying strategies to support these children and their families and developing an awareness of cultural issues. Students will be required to observe environments within child care settings which may require TB, immunizations, and criminal record clearances. (formerly CDE-540)
