Abstract	This 3-year project provided support services to 16 sites (in 8 states) which implemented the BEACON model (Bilingual Early Assessment and Curriculum Outreach Network) to screen, evaluate, and serve young (ages 2-8) bilingual children with disabilities and their families. Major components of the BEACON model are: (1) bilingual children with disabilities in mainstream and special classrooms are screened using the Preschool Screening System (PSS); (2) follow-up classroom and/or home programs are provided using the ERIN (Early Recognition Intervention Network) curriculum adapted for bilingual children generally and for each language group specifically; and (3) family involvement is stressed. The project assisted a range of agencies including public school mainstream, special, and bilingual classrooms; Head Start; and day care programs. Local, regional, and national training was provided to site staffs. Among project achievements were: screening of over 1,900 children and services provided to over 300 children and families; model demonstration by local sites and dissemination at national conferences; adaptation of the PSS into 42 languages; and preparation of a guide for adapting the ERIN curriculum for this population. Evaluation indicated that participating children had an average increase of 8.41 months in developmental age over that otherwise expected. Extensive appendices include the ERIN Information Processing Framework, a BEACON brochure, an ERIN evaluation summary sheet, and a guide to using PSS online. (DB)
