Programs for Children with Specific Learning Disabilities. P.L. 91-230, Title VI-G. Final Report on Products and Results of Year's Work, July 1, 1973 to June 30, 1974. Fail Save Continuum.
Presented is the final report of the Learning Disability Fail-Save Continuum Project, designed to provide identification, assessment, and placement services to 378 elementary and secondary level students. Outlined in Section I are the following project components: major revisions from the original proposal (such as implementation of the itinerant and resource programs rather than a total continuum of services); services to children (including self concept, behavioral characteristics, academic, and psychological evaluation); staff development (inservice workshops for project teachers, regular class teachers, and administrators); program evaluation methods and procedures (which involved analyzing children's gains); replication activities; research activities (including a descriptive study on characteristics of 255 students in the project); parent involvement activities; advisory council; and community and other activities. Dissemination activities are briefly outlined in Section II. A final section (which makes up the bulk of the document) includes data requested by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped, materials related to dissemination activities, and a paper with tables on student gains and project evaluation.
