The effectiveness of an early intervention program to remediate developmental delays in children age birth to 3 years was examined in part- and full-time groups (Study 1). Significant improvements on age-appropriate measures of developmental standing were observed for both groups, with the greatest gains observed for the full-time group. In Study 2, the stress of parents with developmentally delayed children was measured on the Parental Stress Inventory. Reductions in stress related to children's characteristics and dysfunctional parenting skills were observed on some subscales, supporting prior research which indicated extension of the outcomes of early intervention beyond the child was desirable.
在部分时间参与组和全日制参与组中，对一项针对出生至3岁儿童发育迟缓的早期干预计划的有效性进行了研究（研究1）。两组在发育水平的适龄测量指标上均有显著改善，其中全日制组的进步最大。在研究2中，使用父母压力量表对发育迟缓儿童的父母的压力进行了测量。在一些分量表上观察到与儿童特征和功能失调的养育技能相关的压力有所降低，这支持了先前的研究，即早期干预的效果超出儿童本身是可取的。
