3. Head Start for the Handicapped: Congressional Mandate Audit.

Abstract

The 1972 Amendments to the Economic Opportunity Act mandated that not less than 10% of the Head Start enrollment nationwide be made available to handicapped children. This article reports research evaluating the effect of the mandate during the first year of its implementation. The findings indicate reasonable progress in meeting the needs of the handicapped; however, labeling appears to have increased and serious problems remain in accommodating youngsters with severe disabilities. Recommendations for the enhancement of Head Start efforts on behalf of the handicapped are including a suggestion for reducing society's inclination to segregate or exclude children with major differences in development.

4. Educating Intelligence: Determinants of School Behavior of Disadvantaged Children.

Author

Blatt, Burton and Frank Garfunkel

Subjects
*EDUCATION, *PRESCHOOL education, *PRESCHOOL education of children with intellectual disabilities, *POOR children, *SOCIAL conditions of students, *SOCIAL adjustment in children, *SOCIAL status, *SOCIAL change, *CHILD psychology, *INTELLECTUAL disabilities
Abstract

This report discusses the effects of a two year intervention on preschool disadvantaged children, as found in a one year follow up. Research and experimental variables of a more or less controllable nature tend to obscure any clear cut conclusion as to the extent and quality of change in these children. It is certainly questionable whether existing standardized tests are appropriate with regard to either the intervention or the socioeconomic status of the children involved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
