Delivery Systems Education Handicapped Children Handicapped Students Homebound Learning Resources Centers Models Parent Role Professional Personnel Programed Instructional Materials Rural Areas Telecommunications Telephone Instruction The Utah State University (USU) "Telepac Project" is a service delivery model for homebound handicapped children living in rural areas. Designed to effectively utilize limited numbers of professional personnel, Telepac makes use of: (1) telecommunications technology; (2) parents as a basic treatment resource; and (3) the technology of instructional packaging. Telepac's central component is the Homebound Handicapped Resource Center (HHRC) which includes: (1) a parent resource library; (2) a curriculum resource unit; (3) a multimedia collection; and (4) a telecommunications system. As the source of administration and instruction, HHRC services the home, a local program monitor (LPM), and a local parent group. The curriculum resource unit develops and disseminates "Parent Involvement Packages" which provide for: (1) training of the child in the home; (2) training of the parent; and (3) involvement of LPM. These packages are supplemented by the multimedia collection and the parent resource library. Utilizing standard telephones equipped with intercoms, the telecommunications system provides for interactions between parents, HHRC, the LPM, and consultant services. The LPM is a professional who helps coordinate: (1) identification and screening of potential families; (2) notification and involvement of the parents; and (3) liaison with HHRC. (JC) |
