Projects and activities of the Developmental Center for Handicapped Persons are described, including (a) use of applied technology in preschool, academic, and social curricula for persons with severe disabilities; (b) the use of artificial intelligence “expert systems” for consultation and decision making in the field of special education; (c) study of the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of early intervention, as well as longitudinal impacts; and (d) description of an interdisciplinary training progam in the area of developmental disabilities.
