From Reuters (5/22):
Thirty-six percent of 118 children in California who failed the
standardized developmental test and had no previous early intervention
did not receive a referral during an
initial follow-up visit at ages 4 months to 8 months, a study in
Pediatrics found. Researchers said the numbers were similar at the
second follow-up visit. Budget cuts to the state's early intervention
services and stricter eligibility criteria might explain the low
referral rate for such services, they said.
