Project to Train Paraprofessionals to Work with Preschool Handicapped Children. Program Performance Report.
Irany, James
Presented is the program performance report of a project to train paraprofessionals in working with preschool handicapped children in Alaska. Accomplishments and attainments as well as slippages are reviewed for each of the program's three objectives: development of competency based training materials for paraprofessionals, training of paraprofessionals in both urban and rural Alaska, and training of parents and caretakers of preschool handicapped children. Among the accomplishments reported are development of an instructor's manual for a course in basic development and developmental disabilities; the approval of an associate of arts degree in early childhood development with emphasis on exceptional children; and provision of financial assistance in the printing and distribution of parent brochures. Also discussed are unanticipated or anticipated spin-off developments of the project. Preservice/inservice training data is presented in table form, and materials (which include a listing of Alaska competency based education courses, sample letters and evaluation forms, and an outline on the development of an infant learning program) are appended.
