Then 25 years after retirement and after living in Spain for 17 years, she returned to California and began substitute teaching in a school district in the County of Santa Barbara all grades from Kindergarten through High School Seniors. She taught all classes offered to her, from high school honors English, special education classes at all levels, English as a Second Language classes, Physical Education at all levels, Automobile Mechanics, Drivers Education and Shop classes. This allowed her to contribute observations she had seen in the California school system and what was taught to the students over this wide range of years.

Child Development and the Use of Technology: Perspectives, Applications and Experiences addresses major issues regarding technology for young children, providing a holistic portrait of technology and early childhood education from the views of practitioners in early childhood education, instructional design technology, special education, and mathematics and science education. Consisting of fifteen chapters developed by multidisciplinary teams, this book includes information, advice, and resources from practitioners, professionals, and university faculty engaged in early childhood education and instructional design technology.

This book assembles into one volume summaries of school-based intervention research that relates to those who deal on a regular basis with the growing body of students having high-incidence learning disabilities and/or behavior disorders: special educators, school psychologists, and clinical child psychologists. Chapter authors begin with an overview of their topic followed by a brief section on historical perspectives before moving on to the main section – a critical discussion of empirically based intervention procedures. In those instances where evidence-based prescriptions can legitimately be made, authors discuss best practices and the conditions (e.g., classroom environment, teacher expertise) under which these practices are most effective. A final section deals with policy issues.
