As computer technology has become more accessible and affordable, early childhood special educators have begun to integrate it into their curricula. This article addresses basic considerations for systematic introduction of computer technology in early childhood special education programs. Practical suggestions are offered for developing prerequisite computer skills with the aid of battery-powered toys and switches. Strategies for introducing computer technology to rural programs via a technical assistance network are offered and unique applications of computer technology in rural early childhood special education programs are explored.

Although used extensively in other areas of social science and medicine, randomized experiments are used infrequently in early childhood special education programs. Indeed, many administrators, service providers, and researchers have claimed that randomized experiments in early childhood special education are unnecessary, impractical, or unethical. This paper summarizes and presents counter arguments for each of these positions. It is concluded that more frequent use of randomized experiments in early childhood special education would facilitate the advancement of knowledge. Procedures for using such designs more extensively are suggested.
