Gilhousen, Michael R.; And Others
Journal of School Psychology, v28 n4 p285-99 Win 1990
Reviews controversial Milwaukee Project which utilized early intervention efforts with 17 children at risk for mental retardation. Discusses methodological problems that cast doubt on validity of results. Contends that project does not support hypothesis that early intervention for children at risk for mental retardation will result in meaningful changes in intelligent quotient or achievement.
