Bjorn Lomborg, interviewed recently on the
Freakonomics podcast hosted by Stephen
Dubner, discussed how he and his group of
economists and other social scientists helped
the U.N. develop targets for the second set of
Millenium Goals.
They started with169 proposed targets within
more than a dozen major categories such as
poverty, famine, climate change, and
sustainable industrialization. Too many goals!


So Lomborg and his group rated each goal
based on three criteria: cost, reality of
achievement, and impact.
Only a dozen goals were given top rating by
Lomborg’s group. They were goals that
people already had solutions for; that could
be widely implemented at fairly low cost; and
that could be expected to have a very
significant impact.




Applying Lomborg’s reasoning to improving
outcomes for preschool children with
disabilities, some questions we might ask
ourselves could be:
What do we already know about improving
children’s social relationships, acquisition and use
of knowledge and skills, and use of appropriate
behaviors to meet their needs?
What can we do within current resources?
What changes in current practice will have the
greatest impact on children?
