How do we track children who have been referred to Early On or other community-based intervention services?
Tracking of children can be done in a variety of ways: paper, electronic, web-based. Many of the screening tools have web-based systems to help doctors monitor children. Early On has a new Management Information System. Release forms should be obtained from parents before referrals are made to Early On. One of the expectations of being a participant for PCDS will be sitting down with your local Early On staff person at the Intermediate School District to clarify roles and communication. We are going to work with the Great Start Collaboratives to help facilitate this. Go to www.ecic4kids.org to find out more about Great Start Early Childhood System plans in your community.
