Description
Book SynopsisProvides a valuable source of information on the long-term effects of early intervention programs on the education of children living in economically disadvantaged areas and in other contexts. Early intervention programs enjoy popular and legislative support, but until now, policymakers and practitioners have lacked hard data on the long-term consequences of such efforts.
Trade Review"Reynolds's book stands out among the plethora of research devoted to analyzing the effectiveness of childhood development intervention programs in a number of ways. . . . Suffice it to say that the evidence provided suggests that early childhood intervention can have lasting effects on behavior if the intervention is experienced long enough and if the program is comprehensive--meaning that it provides numerous developmental services for both the children and their families. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above."—
