TITLE: Project Sunrise Proceedings Document. The Annual
Montana Symposium on Early Education and the Exceptional
Child (2nd, Billings, Montana, April 1-3, 1981.)
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1981
NOTE: 217 p.
ABSTRACT: Four keynote speeches and 14 sectional
presentations comprise the proceedings of the April 1981
Montana Symposium on Early Education and the Exceptional
Child. The first speech, entitled "The Yellow Brick Road-
Does it Lead to Oz or Abyss?" by B. Fredericks, stresses
the importance of gathering solid research evidence to
demonstrate that early childhood programs for the
handicapped are not only educationally beneficial but also
cost effective. A second speech by Fredericks, "The Country
Children--Who Serves Them?" describes two methods of
serving rural handicapped children, the rural aide model
and a parent training model. N. Haring, in "How to Tell Who
You're Teaching Without a Label," stresses the
disadvantages of labeling handicapped children and proposes
that intervention strategies be identified instead. M.
Karnes offers "Components of an Exemplary Program for Young
Handicapped Children" and stresses the value of each
individual, the child, his/her family, and the staff.
