Overview of California Early Start
Updated July 2015 to reflect changes in state law as of January 2015
This PowerPoint™ is designed to assist early educators in understanding the Early Start early intervention system when a child in their care, birth to age three years of age, has an identified disability or when they have concerns that a child in their care, birth to age three years of age, might have a disability, developmental delay or be at risk for a developmental disability. There are two parts of this resource: the Brief Overview and Journeys Through Early Start that includes stories of three children to illustrate the various ways that children can enter and receive services.
