Answer to Question 1

Children who have had early intervention show both clear gains in IQ and an increased probability of placement in general education classes. Children who received early intervention and who had higher IQs had the best prognosis.

Elements of effective early intervention programs:
 Curriculum content that emphasizes five basic skill areas:
 attention to aspects of the environment
 motoric and visual imitation of others
 receptive and expressive language
 developmentally appropriate play with toys
 social interaction
 Supportive teaching environments incorporating generalization strategies
 Predictability and routine
 Functional assessment of problem behaviors
 Skills to transition students out of the preschool class
 Involvement of parents and other family members

Answer to Question 2

The two issues are obtaining an accurate diagnosis and choosing an intervention system.
