Abstract
The systematic evaluation of a curriculum designed to improve the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and clinical judgment of pediatric residents with regard to young handicapped children and their families is described. Residents were assigned to experimental and control groups, and changes were analyzed across several dimensions. The results revealed a number of significant changes due to the implementation of the curriculum. In particular, knowledge of various aspects of handicapping conditions increased as did the tendency to characterize the behavior of handicapped children in a positive manner. In addition, an experimental design is presented that is uniquely compatible with scheduling factors during residency training.
