Excerpted from Legal Problem-Solving and Flourishing: A Handbook for Perinatal and Early Childhood System-Builders

In 2022, our Early Childhood Learning Community generated Legal Problem-Solving and Flourishing: A Handbook for Perinatal and Early Childhood System-Builders, available in English on MLPB’s website. This Handbook includes ten (10) tools that can enable integration of legal problem-solving as an element of family-centered care. Here, we share the ten tools in translated form. The four sets of translated materials are geared to some language communities based in Orange County, CA; the state of Rhode Island; and Boston, MA.’

How care teams and parent leaders can promote a child’s successful transition from early intervention to special education

In Rhode Island, infants and toddlers (0-3) who are at risk for a developmental delay may qualify for Early Intervention (EI) services. In-home EI Specialists develop and follow an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) that is designed to address the unique social, behavioral, and skill-based needs of the child. At age three, all children enrolled in EI are reassessed to determine whether they qualify for services through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 Plan when they go to school (PreK-12). Use this tool to help families problem-solve during this high-stakes transition!

This month a new DULCE paper was published in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Entitled Cross-Sector Approach Expands Screening and Addresses Health-Related Social Needs in Primary Care, the paper presents data collected at 5 DULCE sites that shows:

  • an increase in family engagement with well-child visits; and
  • reliable detection of, and responses to, health-related social needs disclosed by families. 

Read the paper lead-authored by MaryCatherine Arbour here, as well as a companion blog post published by the Center for the Study of Social Policy.
