Early Childhood Special Education Teacher Certification Study Guide 2026-2027, Birth to 8 Early Intervention Exam Prep, 200 Questions PDF

Earn your early childhood special education teaching credential with a complete study guide for the Praxis® Special Education: Early Childhood/Early Intervention (5692) exam, the licensure test many states use for educators who serve children from birth through age 8 with disabilities or developmental delays. The guide follows the five ETS content categories: Child Development and Early Learning; Curriculum, Planning, and Instruction; Assessment; Partnering and Collaborating; and Legal and Ethical Practices and Professionalism.

Each chapter condenses the knowledge an early intervention or preschool special education teacher needs — milestones and theories, IFSP outcomes and IEP goals, evidence-based instruction, behavior support, assessment, family partnerships, and IDEA requirements — into clear explanations, quick-reference tables, process flows, and diagrams. Two full-length practice tests give you exam-level, scenario-based practice with a full explanation for every answer.
