Abstract
The issues arising from implementing an early intervention service, developed in the rural United States in the late 1960s in a range of different cultural contexts over a period of a quarter of a century, are explained. Services from India, Bangladesh, Jamaica and the United Kingdom are compared. As well as considering cross-cultural aspects of Portage, variability within one country, the United Kingdom, is considered by comparing one service in an inner-city area and one in a rural area.Keywords: Americas; Asia; Bangladesh; Behavior; Biology; Caribbean; Child Development; Comparative Studies; Cross-cultural Comparisons; Culture; Curriculum; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Developing Countries; Education; Europe; India; Intelligence; Jamaica; Mental Retardation; Models, Experimental; North America; Northern Europe; Personality; Population; Population Characteristics; Psychological Factors; Psychology; Research Methodology; Rural Population; Social Sciences; Southern Asia; Studies; Training Activities; Training Programs; United Kingdom; Urban Population
