| Abstract: | Early Discovery is a program that supports mildly delayed young children who did not qualify for Part B/C services. Our goals were to: (1) provide high-quality services; (2) educate and empower parents/caregivers; (3) link families to community resources; and (4) reduce the need for special education. Services included speech-language, occupational, behavioral, or general developmental intervention. Significant improvement from pre- to post-intervention were seen. Eighty-six percent of children did not require special education 1-3 years post-intervention. Results suggested intensive interventions for children with mild delays prevented developmental decline. Discussion focuses on the need for continued research and programming in early intervention for children with mild delays. |
