Lights, Camera, Action: The FEATT Story. The Project for Facilitating Educational Achievement Through Telecommunications. Final Report.
Currie, Robert J.; And Others
The Project for Facilitating Educational Achievement Through Telecommunications (Project FEATT) attempted to demonstrate the efficacy of televised instruction in a home-based early childhood education program for handicapped children. In cooperation with community and medical services, an early childhood education program screened and provided orientation for participants. After creating instructional television programing and providing outreach services for users, the project carried out extensive research on its effectiveness. It was found that television was an effective training procedure for home-based parent training and that parents can learn training strategies for specific development skills for their handicapped child. Also, the most effective means of communicating training strategies to parents of handicapped children was via a combination of televised instruction and accompanying activity guides. (HAB)
