Book excerpt: This qualitative research study examined the perceptions of preschool Early Intervention special education teachers about the impacts of social and emotional development on academic and functional success for 3 to 5 year old children with disabilities. In addition, the study identified social and emotional instructional practices used by those teachers to promote academic and functional success for 3-5 year old children with disabilities. The research was conducted with 62 preschool Early Intervention teachers from four Intermediate Units in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Nine of those teachers also volunteered to participate in a one on one interview with the researcher. A researcher developed online survey and interview questions were used to collect data for the study. The results of the study indicated that most of the teachers believed that their students' social and emotional development is essential for both functional and academic success. Almost all of the teachers thought that it was important to use specific instructional strategies to teach social and emotional learning (SEL). Some of the preschool Early Intervention teachers were very invested in implementing SEL curriculum and using specific strategies to teach SEL; however only about half of the teachers were using an SEL Curriculum and just two-thirds were using specific instructional strategies to teach SEL.
