Role of Special educator in Early childhood special education/Early interventionLearnwithAnshita
Early childhood special education (ECSE)/Early intervention (EI) services can be defined as providing necessary services such as health, nutrition, & education based on the needs children with developmental delay/disability or at risk for developmental delay/disability between age of 0 & 6/8 & to their family in order to minimise the negative effects influencing children & their families & to maximise the overall quality of life of children & their families.(Sabuncuoglu & Diken, 2010).
Services for the children with disabilities start with the screening ,assessment & referral. After the medical diagnosis, families are directly referred for guidance & research centers who are responsible for organizing & providing special education services in each areas for educational diagnosis so that their children are placed at appropriate educational institutions.
screening can be done by special educators too, they can take help of parents or caregiver who knows child’s development and behaviours. After that they will refer them to the nearest centres for complete assessment of child’s hearing. It will be focuses on determining with accuracy, not just the existence of the hearing difficulty but also details about its nature type and extent.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
