Description
In Minnesota, children ages birth to three with developmental delays, disabilities, or certain diagnosed conditions are eligible for services in their home, child care setting, or school (Minnesota Department of Health, 2008). In addition to referrals from Child Protection, the Interagency Early Intervention Committee (IEIC) receives referrals from several other sources, such as medical providers, Follow Along program, Early Childhood Family Education, etc. The problem is that once the referral is made, the referral source does not hear back from IEIC about the services that are provided to the child or family (if any). It would be beneficial for service providers to collaborate with IEIC to enhance services and ensure that there is no duplication of services. For the purposes of this paper, the results of referrals to Sibley County IEIC were examined and a comparison between referral source and the response by IEIC were made by utilizing the research method of records review.
