| Abstract: | The Wyoming Infant Stimulation Program (WISP) provides a comprehensive preschool program utilizing both center-based and home-based intervention for handicapped preschool children (age 0-3 years) and their families in rural Wyoming. A developmental-prescriptive model is used and the curriculum objective is that each child will progress according to his/her own individual educational plan (IEP) in the developmental areas of social-emotional, gross motor, fine motor, adaptive reasoning, receptive and expressive language, and self care skills. After screening and diagnosis the IEP for each child is determined and a home-based (with caregiver as primary teacher) or classroom program is chosen according to age of the child (0-18 months at home, 18-36 months in the classroom). Program effectiveness is assessed formally several times a year. Since the program inception eight other facilities have adopted the WISP model and it appears to work successfully in metropolitan as well as rural areas. A table describing components of the program and a section describing the materials used in the WISP program are appended. (Author/PHR) |
