Improvements in multiple students’ rates of acquisition based on this system were recorded. This indicated a possibility of improved …

IDEA provides guidance and regulations to early intervention programs, schools, and states for identifying and delivering intervention services to children ages birth through 21 years. Although the provision of early intervention services are …
