Parent and Clinic Early Intervention for Children with Language Handicaps: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis.

Barnett, W. Steven; And Others

Journal of the Division for Early Childhood, v12 n4 p290-98 1988

The economic efficiency of alternative types of intervention was investigated with language-impaired preschool children. Forty children were assigned to one of four groups: home-based intervention, center-based intervention, both center- and home-based intervention, and no treatment. The home-based program was more economically efficient based on costs and resulting language test scores. (Author/JDD)
