Infant and Toddler Models for Service Delivery: Are They Detrimental for Some Children and Families.

LeLaurin, Kathryn

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v12 n1 p82-104 Spr 1992

This article argues that current models of intervention for infants and toddlers with disabilities suffer from conflicting research results and practical implementation problems and discusses alternative approaches, including the need for comprehensive needs assessment, protocols for matching services with needs, interagency system changes, and a range of service options.
