Why is the chapter on research so early in the text (e.g., before rather than after discussion of disabilities and of teaching methods)?
The author’s experience in preparing early interventionists and special educators has been that they often lack the knowledge and skills necessary to be able to read journal articles and benefit from those. Because so much important information about what to do and how to do it is offered in such articles, it is the author’s opinion that reading journal articles is an essential competency. This chapter provides the background that readers need in order to be intelligent consumers of research reports.
