Abstract

Normal 0 false false false TR JA X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Throughout much of the 1990’ s in the United States , early intervention services were often provided through a center - based therapeutic or medical model . However , today we recognize the natural environment is typically the most developmentally appropriate setting for all children to learn . Therefore , programs now aim to serve children in their homes , child care settings or places they spend the majority of their days . This investigation will examine current studies and literature pertaining to early intervention service delivery , and compare the findings to similar studies conducted over the last two decades . By getting a clearer perspective on how service delivery has changed and evolved over the years , we can work toward meeting each family ’ s unique needs .
