Objectives
• Share some information on what we know about children and families receiving Part C services
• Discuss the implications for child find, eligibility criteria and improving systems and services

Data Sources
• National Early Intervention Longitudinal Study (NEILS) (www.sri.com/neils)
• Data States report annually to the U.S. Department of Education (www.ideadata.org)
• Patterns in the Identification of and Outcomes for Children and Youth With Disabilities (http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/pubs/20104005/index.asp)

EI serving only a fraction of low birth weight babies in US
• 22% began EI after 12 months; 8% between 24 and 30 months (NEILS)
• According to CDC, in 2002: 314,077 LBW births occurred (7.8% of all
births) 58,544 of these were VLBW (1.46% of all
births).
• 39,000 children younger than age 1 were being served in EI in December 2002

• 69% live with biological/adoptive father.
• 7% are in foster care.

Issues to Ponder
• Differences across states in percent served
• Differences by race/ethnicity
• Growth over time in the 2 to 3 year olds
• Timeline to IFSP• Services to low birth
