Journal Article
The Impact of Early Intervention Legislation
1998
Overview
Local interagency coordinating council (LICC) coordinators from one state were interviewed regarding their perceptions of the implementation of early intervention legislation in their locality. From a larger study addressing many questions, the data reported in this article focus on the impact of early intervention legislation at the local level. Study participants reported positive local impact in the areas of family-centered services and service coordination, improved childfind and referral for services, funding, networking, and developmental outcomes. Negative effects included difficulty in negotiating system bureaucracies, increased paperwork, reduction in “at-risk” services, increased financial responsibility for parents, and budget impacts from nonreimbursable services. Study participants also reported a discrepancy between the vision of the legislation and the reality of local implementation in the areas of comprehensive services, interagency collaboration, and family involvement in system change.
