A concern could be a physical or medical
condition or a delay in development.

Contact with a child occurs and a concern is
identified |
Gather enough information (through observation,
conversations or a screening tool) to determine
whether a referral for an evaluation is needed.
Talk to the family before making an Early On
referral. |
|
A referral must be made within 2 working days
after the concern is identified. Parental
consent is needed before doing an evaluation. |
A referral is made to Early On for an evaluation |
|
The family's Service Coordinator makes sure the
evaluation and services are coordinated in a way
that meets the family's needs and priorities. |
An evaluation of the child's development in all
areas occurs.
|
If a delay is confirmed, offer to be part of the
family's service team and make sure your
services are written on the IFSP. |
