Abstract

The passage of Part H of the Education of the Handicapped Act, Public Law 99-457, and the reauthorization of the law in 1991, as Public Law 102-119, mandates a family-centered approach to the provision of services to infants and young children with handicaps. Nurses are named as providers in this federal legislation. The authors conducted a survey to assess the learning needs of nurses who may wish to serve as providers under the law. The survey results were used to develop a family-centered continuing education curriculum that pairs parents and nurse faculty as partners in delivering the curriculum.
