Five focus groups were conducted with 38 family participants receiving early intervention services in Virginia. Participants expressed their perspectives on how cost and ability to pay affects the family and their decisions on services. Implications for early intervention policy and practice on the local, state, and federal level and future research are explored. (Contain references.) (Author/CR)
