Research and Training Center (RTC) on Early Childhood Development
The major aim of the Research and Training Center (RTC) on Early Childhood Development is to implement a coordinated and advanced program of applied research on knowledge and practice that improves interventions associated with the healthy mental, behavioral, communication, preliteracy, social-emotional, and interpersonal development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with or at risk for developmental disabilities. Carl Dunst provides easy to read summaries of the evidence behind different nontraditional approaches such as, dolphin therapy, hippotherapy, melonic intonation therapy, and so forth. There are also several very useful documents that define "evidence-based practices." See at

I had the same problem with clicking on links. I have Kerry Hempenstall's gulf-playing WL theorists on my weblog. instructivist.blogspot.com
That is a wonderful piece that I urge everybody to read. It nicely packs the educationists' thoughtworld in one place.
