The program staff describe it as very successful though only about four percent of at risk preschoolers receive help. Paula Jackson notes speech issues affect roughly ten percent of children and most services occur at home or in a Winchester School Board lab. Joan Kushnir emphasizes individualized testing and home based learning with parents acting as teachers to reduce stigma. The effort covers Frederick and Clarke counties with weekly visits and past peak enrollment above 75 children.
