Early Childhood
Development
Many children with developmental delays and disabilities are
identified too late to receive appropriate services during the
preschool years. This impacts their ability to learn and reach
their full potential.
Early Identification and Intervention Group
CHI is an active member of the Early Identification and Intervention
Group (EII), an educational and advocacy organization. EII’s
goal is to ensure that all children in Los Angeles County get
good developmental screenings—early, often and with a high quality
screening tool—and that children who have developmental delays
or disabilities receive appropriate services. In early 2005,
EII announced it was teaming up with First 5 Los Angeles to
form the Early Developmental Screening and Intervention Initiative
Strategic Partnership. This initiative will provide funding
for coordinating and implementing a learning collaboration among
a broad range of health and social service providers.
