Description
Summary:This article describes a comprehensive approach for supporting and educating parents of young children, age 2 1/2 to 3 1/2, and for identifying those children who need further evaluation for exceptional education needs. Professionals from education, public health, social services, and child care collaborate to provide parents with information about child development and community resources; have early childhood teachers observe children in a play setting; respond to parents' questions and concerns; and talk with parents about the teacher's observations of the child. Parents' concerns and teachers' observations are used to identify children for follow-up assessment for possible early childhood/special education services, or to refer parents to other services.
