| Summary: | This manual was developed as part of the New England Center Pilot Project (NECPP), a 3-year federally funded program focusing on the inclusion of young children with deaf-blindness within regular educational programs in Massachusetts. The NECPP provides consultation during transition to inclusive programs and offers technical assistance, staff training, and recommendations for promoting the child's participation within regular classroom curricula and play activities. This manual focuses on the four major procedural steps performed by Project personnel: (1) introduction--in which Project personnel provide information to the child's educational team, interagency agreements are established, and roles and responsibilities are clarified; (2) assessment--involving collaborative assessment of family needs, staff training requirements, and environmental factors; (3) technical assistance--provision of inservice training and on-going consultation services and family training in order to promote inclusion of the child; and (4) follow-up--development of a child profile that documents effective teaching strategies, materials, and activities in facilitating inclusion of the child into the classroom milieu. Most of the manual consists of appendices, which include: an outline of an interagency agreement; a list of program quality indicators; a form for developing a family wish list; a classroom personnel information form; a communication profile; a classroom environmental assessment form; sample curriculum grids; observation feedback procedures and forms; and a list of strategies for promoting social interaction.
