Locate two academic articles from a professional, peer-reviewed journal related to the topic of early childhood special learning environments. Write a 1250-1500 word summary paper addressing each of the following points/questions. Be sure to completely answer all questions in each bullet point. There should be two sections, one for each numerical bullet below. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for each article. Include a cover page and a reference page, which do not count towards the minimum word amount.
