Question 1
Define and distinguish among the following categories of children: children with special needs, children of historically underrepresented groups, children of low socioeconomic status. Discuss how confusion about these concepts might negatively influence professional practice in schools.
Question 2
A young child has been enrolled in your preschool program. The child is from another country and does not speak English. Because the child cannot respond to simple directions given to the English-speaking children, the teacher begins to see the child as a "special needs" child. Explain why being non-English speaking is not synonymous with having special needs and how the teacher can come to know more about the child's development.
