Which agency in your state is the lead for early intervention services? The California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) oversees the Early Start program, which provides early intervention services for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities. The Early Intervention Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities in California, known as Early Start, is a response to federal legislation enacted in 1986 under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This program ensures that early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families are provided in a coordinated, family- centered system of services available statewide. Which steps in your state do families need to take to get an evaluation to be eligible for early intervention or special education services? Referral Process: Anyone can make a referral, including parents, medical care providers, neighbors, family members, foster parents, and daycare providers. Referral sources can include health care providers or a direct call to the local regional center or school district. After Referral Process: Within 45 days, the regional center or local education area assigns a service coordinator to assist the family through evaluation and assessment procedures. Parental consent for evaluation is obtained, and evaluations and assessments of the child's development are scheduled and completed. If the infant or toddler is eligible, an Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) is developed, identifying early intervention services provided in the family home or other community settings. Eligibility Criteria: Infants and toddlers from birth to age 36 months may be eligible for early intervention services if they meet one of the following criteria: Have a developmental delay of at least 25% in one or more areas of cognitive, communication, social or emotional, adaptive, or physical and motor development, including vision and hearing. Have an established risk condition of known etiology, with a high probability of resulting in delayed development. Be considered at high risk of having a substantial developmental disability due to a combination of biomedical risk factors diagnosed by qualified personnel.
