Low Incidence Disabilities Project: Master's Degree Training in Infant Special Education with an Emphasis in Low Incidence Disabilities. Final Report.
Jarret, Marian H.
This report describes the outcomes of a federally funded project that was designed to train master's degree students as early interventionists with skills and abilities to work with infants and toddlers with low incidence disabilities and their families. The low incidence disabilities that were the focus of the training were multisystem developmental disorders (MSDD) and significant neurobehavioral disorders (SNBD). The goals of the project were: (1) to recruit and enroll a diverse group of students; (2) to develop a training curriculum reflective of best practices in early intervention; (3) to develop a master's degree curriculum reflective of new knowledge in the area of infants and toddlers with MSDD and SNBD and their families; (4) to increase awareness and expertise in the early intervention community; and (5) to implement a management plan that ensures effective, proper, and efficient administration of the project. Over the course of three years the project was able to meet all of these goals. A summary of its accomplishments and challenges is presented according to each to the five goals. (Author/SG)
