Initial evaluation practices to identify young children’s social emotional difficulties

Description:

We used survey methodology to learn about social emotional evaluation practices used by Child Find teams in Colorado for children evaluated for early intervention and preschool special education eligibility. Results suggested that Child Find professionals relied heavily on observations, parent report, and teacher/caregiver input when determining social emotional eligibility. Fewer providers used standardized screening and validated social emotional tools. While most providers made decisions aligned with Colorado eligibility, others appeared to misunderstand the criteria. Implications and future directions are discussed. (author abstract)
