The Effectiveness Of The Teaching Interaction Procedure For Young Children With Developmental Delay, Bailey Nicole Swain
Dissertations and Theses
Developmental Delay (DD) is an IDEA classification for young children who fail to meet developmental milestones at typical times.

The Home-School Connection: Parental Influences On A Child's Esl Acquisition, Catharine Jauhiainen
Dissertations and Theses
Few would dispute the tremendous impact that parents have on the intellectual, emotional, and social development of their children. An important issue in child second language acquisition is whether, or to what extent, parental attitudes and behaviors are associated with the success of language minority children in elementary ESL and mainstream classroom settings. The effects of parental educational values and expectations, and parental perception of ability to assist in the educational journey of their offspring, have been the focus of much research regarding majority language children. However, research exploring the beliefs and behaviors of language minority parents and their relationship …
