Summary

This study tests a program called Preschool and Me (PreM) that helps families of children with developmental delays or disabilities connect with school-based services. The program uses a care plan and a navigator to guide families through the process. Researchers hope this will improve access to early childhood special education and reduce health disparities for marginalized communities.
