Early Head Start: Identifying and Serving Children with Disabilities
Abstract
Early Head Start (EHS) is a comprehensive, two-generation program that provides services to low-income families with children under the age of 3 years. As part of their mandate, staff members of EHS programs collaborate with other service providers in their local communities, including Part C and childcare providers. The incidence of disabilities among low-income children was tracked as part of the EHS Research and Evaluation Project. The incidence of indicators of disabilities (or potential disabilities) was extremely high (87%) among these very young children living in poverty; however, only 99 participating families (4.7% of the sample) received Part C services. Receipt of Part C services was related negatively to specific family characteristics (e.g., mother less well educated, being of color, not speaking English). Participation in EHS had a positive impact on receipt of Part C services.

Data from Head Start programs indicate how Part C Child Find coordinators may collaborate with other early childhood programs that also track children's developmental progress.
“In addition, data from Head Start programs (Peterson et al., 2004; Sinclair, 1993) indicate how Part C Child Find coordinators may collaborate with other early childhood programs that also track children's developmental progress.”

Non-Part C systems can track outcomes for specialized populations.
“The data from the Head Start program from the University of California-Los Angeles underscore the point that non-Part C systems can track outcomes for specialized populations (Peterson et al., 2004; Sinclair, 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
