(1) Complete the planning and development of the appropriate curriculum for the junior kindergarten program; and

(3) Identify the potential number of children, on an annual basis, who have not received services through Part C programs, but are identified as having developmental delays and who may benefit from intervention services between the ages of 3-5;
(4) Research evidence-based practices in order to define service models for children between the ages of 3-5 necessary to meet the needs of this population;
(5) Define the array of services required for children ages 3-5 with developmental delays;
