Who can join

Age: any, up to 5. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• The primary subject population of interest are Women, Infants, \& Children families who in the course of a WIC visit identify a potential developmental concern and agree to a direct referral from WIC to Early Intervention to further assess that concern. To be eligible for the study, the parent/guardian must speak English or Spanish. The child with the identified concern must be under 54 months of age as the investigators will need to follow the child for 6 months to determine initial outcomes and children are no longer eligible for WIC after their 5th birthday.
• WIC staff at the 4 intervention agencies, EI staff in the 4 communities in which the 4 intervention WIC Local Agencies are located, and primary care providers (PCPs) who have had a patient referred to EI directly from WIC will all be invited to participate in a telephone interview to give their perspective on the process. The only staff inclusion requirement is that these staff are currently working in their professional role in the county studied.

You may not qualify if…

• Family speaks language that isn't English or Spanish. Child is older than 54 months.
• Staff does not work in their professional role in the county studied.
