How Responsive Is Early Intervention to the Priorities and Needs of Families?

Mahoney, Gerald; Filer, Janet

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v16 n4 p437-57 Win 1996

This study, involving 357 mothers, assessed the type and scope of services provided to families participating in 63 early intervention programs. Analysis found that services were more related to child information and family instructional activities than to personal/family and resource assistance, and that home-based programs and center-based programs with home components were preferred over center-based only programs.
