Week 3, Assignment 2 Blog Post

The book that I selected was Early Childhood Intervention: Shaping the Future for Children with Special Needs and Their Families by Christina Groark. The knowledge that I obtained from the book was the importance of early childhood interventions. Also I was able to obtain statistical information regarding special education. The search strategy that was helpful in locating my book was Badke’s 8.1.2 “Get to know the material without reading it all”. I applied the steps the author suggested and was able to narrow my list of books. Since, this was the first time I was searching for electronic books I was glad that I read Brandman University’s Library and Research Guide I was able to obtain valuable information.
On my initial search I had a difficult time finding specific books on my topic because of the key words I selected. However as I applied Badke’s suggestions 3.2.1 “Database basics for keyword searching” I was able to find several books that were relevant to my topic. What I will continue to research on is the challenges of implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
