Abstract | The study examined 17 Child Service Demonstration Centers (CSDC) established by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped to develop and disseminate model projects for children with specific learning disabilities (LD). Federal guidelines specified that these projects should include the following components: developmental program planning, operation, and evaluation; demonstration of diagnostic/prescriptive services to children; coordination with other agencies; Advisory Council participation; parent involvement; replication; and dissemination. Determined in this study were the effectiveness of individual centers in reaching self-set, program-relevant goals and the extent to which the major program components have been addressed across the Learning Disabilities Program. Among findings were that there was little uniformity in the 17 centers; that the two or three prime objectives differed in that 12 of the centers emphasized development of effective procedures for identifying and meeting the needs of LD children, 11 emphasized training of teachers in the use of model techniques, and 10 emphasized the dissemination of information about the nature of the CSDC program; that varying numbers and types of tests were being used; and that parents were not highly involved in the center activities. Recommendations included the development of consensus criteria to guide CSDCs in the choice of tests and interpretation of results; the revision of the federal definition of LD; and the review of requirements for parent involvement, Advisory Council participation, dissemination, and replication.
