Description

As a professional who works with young children, you know how early detection of delays and disabilities can change the course of a child's whole life.

But in today's communities, many programmes and providers still struggle to coordinate their screening efforts so children who need services don't slip through the cracks.

Integrated, community-wide screening and early detection/child find systems are the answer—and this is the first book with the systematic, big-picture guidance and specific information you need to develop your own system or strengthen and refine your existing system.

Developed by early childhood, medical, and social service experts in screening and assessment, this groundbreaking book helps your community establish an effective early detection system that's comprehensive and low-cost; encourages close collaboration among health, social service, and educational agencies; and meets each child's whole continuum of needs, from universal screening to community services.
