DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is now strong scientific support for the wide-spread implementation of proven, effective early intervention programs for children with, or at risk for, developmental disability. However, in practice, programs that lack demonstrated effectiveness are often implemented, undermining the impact of early intervention. Our goal is to create an archive of early intervention programs for which scientific evidence of effectiveness exists when implemented with children ages 0-5 with, or at risk for, developmental disability. The Early Intervention Program Archive to Reduce Developmental Disability (EIPARD) will consist of complete replication kits of all necessary materials for implementation in service settings. These will be described in detail on Psychometrics' website to facilitate selection of the most appropriate program for a given need. To further ensure the best use of this archive, two additional innovative practical products will be developed: the Early Intervention Program Implementation Tutorial, a CD-ROM-based tutorial that will offer both generalized and program tailored implementation training; and the Early Intervention Program Evaluation Toolkit, a CD-ROM-based toolkit that will guide El program leaders in assessing evaluation readiness of their programs and provide the tools for conducting an evaluation of program effectiveness. The goal of the proposed Phase I project is to test the feasibility of a plan to develop these products. More specifically, we will address the following questions: (1) Can a set of criteria be developed that can be applied reliably by experts in the selection of early intervention programs to be included in the EIPARDD? (2) Can an adequate set of exemplary early intervention. Programs be identified that have demonstrated scientific effectiveness and meet the to-be developed selection criteria? (3) Can permission be obtained to acquire, upgrade, market, and disseminate program curricula and ancillary material from the original developers of the selected early intervention programs? (4) Can original program material be enhanced to the point of public usability and commercial viability? And, (5) Can additional resources and their content be detailed that will facilitate the selection, design and implementation, and evaluation of early intervention, and the training of the professionals responsible for these activities? The commercial market for these products is substantial with over 55,000 professionals working in early intervention under IDEA Part C, serving over 237,000 infants and toddlers.

描述（由申请人提供）：现在有强有力的科学支持，可以为患有发育障碍或有发育障碍风险的儿童广泛实施行之有效的早期干预计划。然而，在实践中，实施的计划往往缺乏有效性，从而削弱了早期干预的效果。我们的目标是创建早期干预计划的档案，在对 0-5 岁患有发育障碍或有发育障碍风险的儿童实施该计划时，有科学证据证明其有效性。减少发育障碍的早期干预计划档案 (EIPARD) 将包含在服务环境中实施所需的所有必要材料的完整复制套件。这些将在 Psychometrics 网站上详细描述，以便于选择最适合特定需求的程序。为了进一步确保该档案的最佳利用，将开发另外两个创新实用产品：早期干预计划实施教程，这是一个基于 CD-ROM 的教程，将提供通用和计划定制的实施培训；早期干预项目评估工具包，这是一个基于 CD-ROM 的工具包，将指导 El 项目领导者评估其项目的评估准备情况，并提供用于评估项目有效性的工具。 拟议的第一阶段项目的目标是测试开发这些产品的计划的可行性。更具体地说，我们将解决以下问题： (1) 能否制定一套可供专家可靠应用的标准来选择纳入 EIPARDD 的早期干预项目？ (2)能否有一套足够的示范性早期干预措施。是否已确定已证明科学有效性并符合即将制定的选择标准的计划？ (3) 能否获得所选早期干预项目原始开发者的许可来获取、升级、营销和传播项目课程和辅助材料？ (4) 原创节目材料能否增强到公众可用性和商业可行性？并且，(5) 是否可以详细说明其他资源及其内容，以促进早期干预的选择、设计和实施以及评估以及负责这些活动的专业人员的培训？这些产品的商业市场规模巨大，有超过 55,000 名专业人士根据 IDEA C 部分从事早期干预工作，为超过 237,000 名婴幼儿提供服务。
