02/20/12 - Institute researcher submits article commemorating 25th anniversary of Public Law 99-457
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Public Law 99-457, which created the early intervention and preschool programs in IDEA, Robin McWilliam, Ph.D., director of the Institute's Center for Child and Family Research, was approached by a major journal in the field of early education and early intervention, to contribute to a special anniversary issue. This issue includes articles from leaders in the field, summarizing the accomplishments achieved thus far and what challenges still face the field today. McWilliam's article focuses on the Routines-Based Interview and home visiting. It appeared this month in Topics in Early Childhood Special Education. |
