ABSTRACT
nuch may be gained by intervening early in the lives of disabled children. While children may benefit from making developmental progress, early intervention may also help improve parental understanding, acceptance, competence, parent-child interactions, and overall integration into community services. Advocates also indicate their preference for direct parental involvement in teaching in home-based programs. The nongovernmental organization, 3D Projects, offers community-based rehabilitation services to more than 300 disabled children in rural south-central Jamaica. The parents of all clients receiving home-based services were interviewed to help assess the projects' impact. Home visits were much appreciated, with respondents especially in favor of the semi-academic and physical exercises. Respondents felt that they were quite involved in the training of their children. 92 percent were able to say which disability inflicts their child. While no baseline data were taken for this study, this degree of knowledge is significantly higher than that found in samples of individuals from comparable studies. 50 percent desired additional information related to their child's schooling, behavior, and speech and learning problems. More parental education is therefore warranted. 67 percent stated that the program has increased their sensitivity and concern for their children, 76 percent felt that the condition of their child is improving, and 93 percent generally felt positive about the program and would recommend it to other parents (AU)
