Through Shared Windows: Outreach Project for Infants, Toddlers, and Children with Developmental Disabilities. Final Report.
Harrison, Holly
This final report describes activities and accomplishments of the Through Shared Windows (TSW) Outreach Project, a 4-year project at the University of New Mexico designed to improve services to young children with disabilities and their families. Three major outcomes were accomplished. First, a Web site was developed that focuses on observational assessment in early childhood and intervention and promotes recommended practices including innovative assessment models, processes, and resources. Second, an undergraduate and graduate course was designed and offered for 3 semesters to 55 students at the University of New Mexico. The course was based on the "Performance Competence Framework," an interdisciplinary holistic approach to assessment and intervention. The third outcome was the national dissemination of information about the "Performance Competence Framework" by a 4-week abridged online course provided to faculty members in eight states. Individual sections report on the project's scope of work, the outreach model, methodological or logistical problems and resolutions, evaluation findings, the project's impact, and future activities. Appendices include details of the TSW online course and its evaluation, details of the Early Childhood Resources Web site and its evaluation, information on faculty participation, and TSW resources including the instructors' guides for both the traditional and online course, and the TSW course outline. (Contains 45 references.) (DB)
