520 |a This evaluation report is a description of a project organized to meet the special needs of youngsters who exhibit a wide diversity of deficits that included mental retardation, brain damage, emotional disturbance, learning disability, and deafness. The purpose of the project was to improve the reading and language skills of eligible pupils. Three hundred exceptional pupils from fifteen non-public schools participated in the program. Pupils were selected for the program on the basis of residential area and educational disadvantagement. Reading was taught to individual pupils either developmentally or remedially with emphasis on readiness, word attack, and comprehension skills. Speech therapy was clinically-oriented to offset individual speech problems and related language difficulties. The art component focused on a creative and motivational approach to meet reading and communication defects. Psychological and social work services were designed to promote optimal adjustment in order to make language instruction more meaningful. The Peabody Individual Achievement Test and Photo Articulation Test were used to assess reading improvement. The report concluded that a mean gain of 11.5 months was attained by the pupils in nine months. The self concept and art-related questionnaire forms are included in the appendix. (Author/JP)
