Commentary: Early childhood education boosts economic, social... One of the earliest indicators of a child’s future success is the number of words he or she hears prior to kindergarten. Language development begins with the interplay of words between the parent and child and helps nurture vocabulary, which is considered the building block of education. The frequency and richness of natural conversation in a child’s first years plays a key role in development. An at-risk child who lacks these early interactions often enters kindergarten with a vocabulary 18 months behind that of a middle-income child. As the child ages, the gap widens instead of narrowing. With vocabulary proficiency such a vital marker of a child’s capacity to learn, the child risks falling so far behind that his or her prospects for graduating high school or finding a meaningful job are greatly diminished.

Inclusion of Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Gene... : Topics in Language Disorders A pivotal element of the Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Act in 1997 is the inclusion of children and youth with disabilities, including those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), in general education classrooms. The challenges of including students with ASD are many because of the nature and severity of their disability. In this regard, the Autism Spectrum Disorder Inclusion Collaboration Model offers guidelines and supports that can facilitate the successful inclusion of children and youth with autism and related disabilities. THE WORK of pioneers such as Kanner (1943) and Asperger (1944) graphically portrayed persons with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as perplexing and mystifying individuals. Over the decades this enigmatic legacy has continued. Independent of the exact nature and severity of their disability, all children and youth with ASD require careful individualized planning to experience educational success.
