Project Ta-kos Outreach. Final Report.
Askew, Linda; And Others
The Project Ta-kos Outreach program is an inservice training model designed to increase the probability that children (ages birth to 8) at risk for or with special needs and their families can access and receive appropriate services in order to remain an integral part of the community in which they reside. The program reflects an ecological approach, which integrates educational, social, and health services. The model's contents include: (1) a family-centered curriculum consisting of five training components; (2) a three-phase training framework focusing on techniques to ensure information and skill acquisition and retention; (3) an inservice program planning process which is collaborative in nature, site-specific, uses a "hands on" approach, and incorporates ongoing feedback; (4) a continuum of competence concept; (5) a focus on interagency collaboration; and (6) a recognition that administrative support is inherent to the success of inservice training. This report presents the program's goals and objectives, model and component description, accomplishments, dissemination activities, training activities, evaluation findings, and impact. Extensive appendices include supplementary program materials (such as sample meeting/workshop agendas and sample newsletters), evaluation reports for the project's second and third years, and supplemental research materials (primarily needs assessment materials).
