This year I am working on a grant to help reduce the need for special education and promote school readiness in the 0-6 year old population in a 5-county rural area. Part of the program includes a parent education program called "You Make the Difference," a program to enhance parent/child interactions and improve children's social and language development. It includes 9 weekly classes of 3 hours--90 minutes of interactive classroom discussion/learning/videotape viewing for the adults and ending with a 5-minute, individual, videotaping sessions of each parent and child trying out the techniques learned. We are interested in getting as many at risk parents as possible to participate (at risk being those parents that may not spend much time interacting with their children or may not use much language as they do) and a friend suggested that this group could have some great suggestions of ways to entice these parents to participate..ideas that have worked for you. We have been able to come up with offering dinner with the class and quality childcare and I have also secured 1/4 credit of high school diploma credit. We have one and a half years to try it out. Please suggest any ideas you have had success with...please... Heather Miller Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District 1101 Red Drive, P.O.
