Abstract	The final report describes the Getting Started Together Project which provided inservice/continuing education for health and education professionals serving Nebraska's handicapped and at-risk children birth to 3 years of age. The programs's objectives were: (1) develop a 48-hour curriculum on developmental and psychosocial needs of the handicapped infant; (2) define and deliver this training to health professionals; (3) develop teaching tools to support this training; and (4) develop and implement a plan of evaluation. Among project activities were implementation of a needs assessment; development of the curriculum which included assessment, intervention, parent techniques, developmental disabilities, case coordination, and interdisciplinary team development; presentation of the curriculum through a variety of delivery methods (e.g., brief local courses, telecommunications courses, and independent learning packets); and evaluation using both formative and summative techniques. A special feature of the program was the collaboration of experts from the fields of special education, nursing, and continuing education. The training model is recommended for replication in other states. Appendixes include brochures describing inservice offerings, a listing of dissemination activities, and dissemination brochures. Includes 13 references. (DB)
