- The Brookline Program for Infants and Their Families: The First Operational Year. Child Development Clinical Diagnosis Cost Effectiveness Diagnostic Tests Early Childhood Education Growth Patterns Health Programs Home Visits Infants Motor Development Nutrition Outreach Programs Parent Participation Prenatal Influences Primary Health Care Program Descriptions Program Evaluation Resource Centers Teacher Role Toys This is a report on the first year of the Brookline Early Education Project (BEEP), a program that delivers both diagnostic and educational services to one hundred twenty-seven families who have had or expected to have babies in 1973. It has opened a parent resource center, trained a staff of individuals from different professions, worked to inform its target communities of its purposes and services. Among the objectives of the program are: to provide diagnostic and educational services to the family throughout their child's preschool years, to evaluate the benefits and cost effectiveness of these services, to determine the value of the various diagnostic procedures in predicting later learning and health problems, and to determine whether a public school, pediatric center and a graduate school of education can develop new ways of working together to raise the quality of diagnostic and educational services for young children and their families. Included in the document are descriptions of the diagnostic program, the education program, the evaluation program, family enrollment and outreach efforts. Appendices include information on a toy lending library. (Author/MS)
