Summary/Abstract:
Focusing on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with developmental delay, Project IMPACT (Insuring Mississippi Parents And Children's Tomorrows) provides evaluation and intervention services to maximize the developmental potential of Mississippi children. Using a family centered approach, the program involves parents and caregivers as essential participants in the intervention and follow-through, including therapeutic training and techniques. The IMPACT Team provides services at the T. K. Martin Center at Mississippi State University or in a natural setting such as the family's home, daycare center, or preschool.
