Fostering the object construct: large-scale intervention with handicapped infants.
Parents provided their developmentally delayed infants with sequential experiences intended to foster the development of the object construct. The participants were enrolled in a multidisciplinary early intervention program serving a wide spectrum of impaired infants from a large, rural geographic area. In comparison with infants who were not exposed to object-construct intervention, infants who received training performed moderately but significantly higher on Scale I of the Uzgiris-Hung Ordinal Scales of Psychological Development.
