Abstract
Increased understanding of the relationship between infancy and subsequent development has led to the establishment of model programs for handicapped infants. During 1979-1980, a total of 30 demonstration and outreach projects for handicapped infants between the ages of 0 to 3 were funded by the United States Department of Education, Office of Special Education. A survey of these 30 projects reveals that a wide range of innovative services has been developed to aid handicapped infants and their parents. In addition to the results of the survey, detailed descriptions of seven projects are provided along with suggestions for applied research and practices that can be readily adapted by other projects serving similar populations.
