Child Services Demonstration Center Evaluation. Summary Report. (ESEA VI-G).
Colorado State Dept. of Education, Denver.
Presented is the final report of Colorado's Child Services Demonstration Project, designed to develop, implement, and evaluate a team staffing program to aid children with specific learning disabilities. The program is described in terms of rationale, replication, children served, staff activities (educational diagnosis, prescriptive programing, implementing instruction, and educational evaluation), and operating costs. Data from evaluation of the seven replication units is noted to reveal that considerable variation as to the comprehensiveness and organization of the diagnostic work-up was evidenced; that there was some evidence that some activities were being recommended for all children without regard to the specific needs of the children involved; and that evaluators varied considerably from carefully observing student performance and charting progress to little or no attention to student performance and emerging needs. Recommendations are summarized which pertain to program operation, adoption or implementation, and further study. Appended are a typical case study of a learning disabled kindergarten child which includes a diagnostician's report, a programer's report, an implementer's report, and an evaluator's report; information which includes program documents, program role statements, and program typical forms used; and an outline on evaluation methodology.
