- Child Success through Parent Training: Final Report, 1980-1983. Schafer, D. Sue Disabilities Infants Models Parent Child Relationship Parent Education Parent Role Program Effectiveness Program Evaluation Young Children The report describes the model and evaluation results of a project serving birth to 3-year-old developmentally delayed/handicapped children through a parent training approach. The transdisciplinary program featured center and home visits to train parents in all activities of assessment, planning, and intervention activities. Parents were to become managers of their child's program plan. The organizational structure included four program instructors representing physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as social work. Team development focused on staff training and parent training. Strategies found to be most successful included immediate interpretation of child assessment results after testing, establishment of a toy and lending library, and flexibility. The project featured ongoing evaluation of its effectiveness through assessment of child and parent progress. Program successes included reaching children early, communicating with the medical community, and demonstrating significant child gains across a broad spectrum of developmental areas. (CL)
