Abstract | This report describes a program for handicapped infants which emphasizes early treatment as a prime means of preventing more serious physical and behavioral problems later in life. Also, the program focuses on the entire family of the developmentally disabled, including infant, parents, and siblings. Program objectives include (1) increased stimulation and environmental enrichment for the infants, (2) enhanced communication in the family, (3) training for interested university students, and (4) promotion of early case finding by various community members. Thirty-three developmentally disabled infants and their families were involved in the program in its first year. Assessment of effectiveness was attempted through parent interviews and testing of the children. Preliminary results suggested that there were positive benefits for those children who attended the program frequently. Discussion focuses on further research needs and questions. (DP) |
