Summer Pre-Placement Program for Severely Multihandicapped Blind Children. Summer 1975. Evaluation Report.
Ellis, Ronald S.
Evaluated was the Summer Pre-Placement Program for Severely Multihandicapped Blind Children, designed to provide individualized programs for improving the performance of 16 children (4-11 years old) in the following areas--communication skills, vision training, psychomotor and perceptual training, social development, ambulation, self-dependence, self-awareness, and awareness of others. Objectives of the evaluation were to determine if the performance of a majority of students improved across all items at least one scale point in the areas mentioned above, and to determine if parents were involved in the educational and emotional needs of the children and the rehabilitation methods employed. Findings showed that although the project's first objective was not met, no child decreased in terms of the areas under consideration and parents were involved in the program. (Appended are the rating scale, a sample interview schedule, responses to telephone interviews, observation report forms, and a daily schedule.) (SBH)
