Scenario: Children with many differences enroll in the preschool where you are a teacher. Many speak languages other than English and have come to the United States from other countries. Some children have learning differences. You and your fellow staff members recognize that if you are to best support the development of all children, you need more information on each childs experiences. The staff has been asked to help develop an intake questionnaire for parents of children who do not speak English as their first language; children who were not born in the United States; and children with learning differences to use when they register their child. This questionnaire will be translated into other languages, but the survey will first be developed in English.
