ECE 495 – CAPSTONE PROJECT – THE RESEARCH PLANName: Antonela Saenz

Proposed Topic: Educating toddlers and infants having learning disability

Subject: The subject that I will be addressing is the difficult that children with learning disability go through. The problem is to look for better ways that [we can help these children get to improve their learning abilities and grasping activities. The foundation of a child’s education teaching them how to read and write is important in ensuring that they will have a better transition when they start their upper education.

Area of Study: Toddler Education

Project Objectives: Through this project, I will

Get to interact with toddlers who are already in school in order to establish the current teaching methods that are being employed by educators

Meet with the children’s parents to discuss ways in which even while at home they can be able to help their children learn.

Develop as well as implement five interventions that may be used by a teacher in classroom so that they can improve their learning.
