Praxis 5692 Early Childhood Special Education Study Guide 2026–2027 | 200 Practice Questions

Prepare for the Praxis® Special Education: Early Childhood/Early Intervention (5692) test with a complete study guide organized around 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 what the test measures for children from birth through age 8 into clear explanations, quick-reference tables, process flows, diagrams, and key-concept boxes, aligned with IDEA Parts B and C, the DEC Recommended Practices, and NAEYC developmentally appropriate practice.

This 106-page digital guide pairs a focused content review with two 100-question practice tests of scenario-based, exam-level questions, so you can practice the "what should the provider do FIRST?" judgment the test rewards in home visits, preschool classrooms, IFSP and IEP meetings, and assessment decisions.
