Improving the Lives of Young Children: Opportunities for Care Coordination and Case Management for Children Receiving Services for Developmental Delay

This brief, written by NASHP policy specialist Carrie Hanlon and produced by the Urban Institute ,examines states' Medicaid and CHIP policy choices and new opportunities under health reform and other federal legislation to develop a well-coordinated system of care for children receiving Early Intervention (EI) and other ongoing services. State examples in the paper draw significantly from NASHP's Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) III Program designed to assist states in improving care coordination, case management, and linkages that support healthy child development.
