Keilty, Bonnie
Infants and Young Children, v13 n4 p32-43 Apr 2001

Areas for further research related to cost and benefit implications are presented. Early intervention programs can use the cost-benefit framework to evaluate the social impact of natural environments. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
