ABSTRACT

This chapter will examine some issues and controversies in intervention programs for infants, toddlers, and their families. 1 It takes a two-pronged approach, exploring the challenges both in implementing these programs and in adequately studying and evaluating them. As such, it joins a host of reviews that have looked at these programs over the past two decades, and wonders why answers to many of the questions raised in reviews of this kind are so maddeningly elusive.
