Book excerpt: A major challenge to state and jurisdictional policymakers in implementing the Early Intervention Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities, Part C under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), is determining definitions of developmental delay and criteria of eligibility for services to young children, birth through 2 years of age, and their families. Under Part C, participating states and jurisdictions must provide services to two groups of children: those who are experiencing developmental delays, and those who have a diagnosed mental or physical condition that has a high probability of resulting in developmental delay. In addition, states may choose to serve children who are at risk of having substantial developmental delays if early intervention services are not provided. This paper discusses how the 50 states and 6 jurisdictions that participate in the Part C program define developmental delay and, as applicable, at risk in their definition of eligibility for services.

Book excerpt: Under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), participating states and jurisdictions must provide services to children who are either experiencing developmental delays, or who have a diagnosed mental or physical condition that has a high probability of resulting in developmental delay. Additionally, states may choose to serve children who are at risk of having substantial developmental delays if early intervention services are not provided. Eligibility criteria used by states influence the numbers and types of children receiving services, the types of services provided, and the cost of the early intervention system. This paper discusses how 50 states and 6 jurisdictions define developmental delay and, as applicable, their approaches to serving children who are at risk. It discusses the wide variability in the types of criteria states use to describe developmental delay and identifies three categories of risk for adverse developmental outcomes used by many states. These include conditions of established risk, biological/medical risk, and environmental risk. Factors that may mediate the impact of risk factors are also noted, including temperament of the child, high self-esteem, good emotional relationship with at least one parent, and successful learning experiences. Definitions related to eligibility under Part C of the IDEA Amendments of 1997 are provided. A summary table lists the following for each state: level of developmental delay required for eligibility; whether or not at-risk infants and toddlers are served; and comments.

Download or read book Early Childhood Assessment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-12-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of young children's development and learning has recently taken on new importance. Private and government organizations are developing programs to enhance the school readiness of all young children, especially children from economically disadvantaged homes and communities and children with special needs. Well-planned and effective assessment can inform teaching and program improvement, and contribute to better outcomes for children. This book affirms that assessments can make crucial contributions to the improvement of children's well-being, but only if they are well designed, implemented effectively, developed in the context of systematic planning, and are interpreted and used appropriately. Otherwise, assessment of children and programs can have negative consequences for both. The value of assessments therefore requires fundamental attention to their purpose and the design of the larger systems in which they are used. Early Childhood Assessment addresses these issues by identifying the important outcomes for children from birth to age 5 and the quality and purposes of different techniques and instruments for developmental assessments.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document analyzes states' definition of developmental delay and analyzes current eligibility classifications and criteria used by states to identify young children in need of special education and related services. Data were obtained from states' Web sites, the National State Policy Database (2003), and/or provided by coordinators of the state Part B-Section 619 programs, including the District of Columbia. The paper describes variations among state policies in disability terminology used for young children, age ranges used by states for developmental delay, the relationship between developmental delay and other Part B categories, and eligibility criteria for developmental delay. The author concludes that states exhibit a strong interest in using the option of a developmental delay eligibility category for young children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Four tables provide information on the following: (1) Part B Disability Categories under IDEA; (2) IDEA Regulations Related to Developmental Delay for Children Ages 3 through 9 Years; (3) Summary of State Eligibility Classifications and Criteria for Young Children under Part B of IDEA; and (4) Summary Table of Early Childhood Special Education Eligibility Criteria in the States, and the District of Columbia as of January 2004.
