Recommendations; Operational History. Demonstration Center for Language-Hanciapped Children.
Hale, James R.
Recommendations based on the two-and-a-half-year history of The Demonstration Center for Language Handicapped (LH) Children are reported. Noted are such recommendations as the following: that each school district develop its own operational definition of LH based on the state definition, adding the concept of significant discrepancy between learning potential and performance as determined by developmental age and expectation for remediation; and that a consultant team of medical specialists be available to the educational planner as needed, but that a mandatory physical examination not be required for LH children. The center's philosophy is discussed with reference to such topics as its commitment to the Texas Education Agency, academic performance, decentralization, and staff development. Evaluated are the center's procedures related to participating school districts, project organization, comparative research, project staff, inservice training, consultants, and evaluation procedures. The following productions of the center are described: the Language Center Handbook, quarterly reports, statistical reports, research monographys, activity reports, and materials required for project operations. Implications of language and learning disability programing are drawn for special and mainstreamed educational services. Materials used for project operations, including appraisal and instructional materials, program evaluation forms, procedural guidelines, conceptual models, and research designs are attached. (GW)
