Long–Term Impact of Early Intervention: Lessons from the Early Head Start National Evaluation Study
Helen Raikes
Tuesday, 25 Oct 2005 at 7:00 pm – Gallery Room, Memorial Union
Join Helen Raikes, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, for a discussion about the birth of Early Head Start. She will share "lessons learned" from a national study of Early Head Start children and their families in 17 sites, who were followed from birth through five years of age. Discover more about the impact of Early Head Start on special population groups, including children with disabilities, African American children, families enrolled during pregnancy, and families at both moderate and high levels of risk. Find out what works best for whom: classroom-based programs and/or home-visiting approaches. The Fall Barbara E. (Mound)Hansen Early Childhood Lecture Series EndowmentCosponsored By:
