New ideas about child development revived interest in early-childhood education where studies suggested that social programs might help improve the lives of poor or disabled children. An initiative run by the new Office of Economic Opportunity focused on poor adults, which included programs such as the Job Corps that offered young adults employment training, and the Community Action Program (CAP) to help groups of poor people organize programs to fight poverty.
