Multiple delivery methods for an interdisciplinary audience: assessing effectiveness.
Recent federal legislation has provided guidelines for intervention services for infants and toddlers with handicaps, birth to age three, and their families. Many disciplines, including nursing, will be involved in providing these services. Serving on an interdisciplinary team or acting as a consultant requires appropriate preparation. Many professionals are not comfortable with their roles in serving this new population, due in part to the limited emphasis on the handicapped infant and toddler in most basic preservice professional education programs. The project described here was useful in helping an interdisciplinary audience develop knowledge and skills needed for intervention services for infants and toddlers.
