Early Intervention (EI) is a comprehensive interagency program that supports infants and children with developmental delays in their efforts to realize their full potential. It reduces the likelihood of delays among at-risk children, assists and empowers families to meet their child's and their own needs, and entitles children, regardless of race, ethnicity or income, to services through the program. A key tool for identifying children in need of EI Services is developmental screening conducted by professionals of all disciplines, caretakers and parents, using a validated instrument such as the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). The new Developmental Screening initiative requires quantitative and qualitative data collection, analysis and evaluation to identify outcomes, implementation challenges, and best practices.
