Abstract
An analysis of parent involvement in early intervention programs was conducted as part of a review of literature on the efficacy of early intervention with disadvantaged, at-risk, and handicapped preschoolers. The evidence to date suggests that there is little support for the position that involvement of parents leads to more effective intervention programs. The meta-analysis also demonstrated that there is little research which addresses the issue of parental involvement with handicapped children. Suggestions for future research are included.
