Abstract:
Growing evidence supports the efficacious nature of early intervention (EI) services to children with developmental delays and their families. Pediatricians can play a crucial role in identifying developmental delays and referring families to EI services provided by each state, under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The goals of this article are to educate pediatricians about the benefits of EI services and resources available within their state to help facilitate family involvement in EI. By being involved in the EI process, pediatricians can work as partners with parents and multidisciplinary teams to provide seamless coordinated care to children and their families.
