At the 22nd Annual International Conference on Young Children with Special Needs and Their Families, held in Little Rock, Ark., on Oct. 21, LaRocco and her colleague, Deborah A. Bruns, assistant professor, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, gave a peer-reviewed presentation.
The conference was sponsored by the international Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children. The presentation, titled “Nurturing Early Childhood Special Education Professionals: Making the Academy a Second Career,” was based on LaRocco's and Bruns' investigation of second-career academics (e.g., experienced special education teachers, early childhood special education teachers) and their understanding of how their early experiences in the academy were the same or different from their previous professional work experiences.
