A 3-volume that discusses special services known as early intervention or early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) provided to young children with special needs and their families.

Examinations range from historical roots to present-day considerations, such as culturally and linguistically diverse children, use of technology, and contemporary testing and teaching methods.
