Early Intervention and Inclusion, A.S.-T

Mt. San Jacinto College

The Early Intervention and Inclusion Associate of Science Degree (AS-EII) is designed to prepare students to work as early childhood paraprofessionals with expertise in special education and early intervention. Early intervention provides assistance at the first warning signs of educational difficulty to prevent further impediment. Children who receive early intervention services can significantly benefit in lowering the severity of physical, speech, intellectual, and behavioral development issues. The Bureau of Labor Statistic reports that special education jobs will grow by six percent through 2024, and early intervention specialists should find favorable prospects as more children with disabilities are being diagnosed earlier.
