Children who are dependent on medical technology present unique challenges to families and professionals who attempt to care for them at home. This longitudinal, exploratory study examines the placement threatening crises experienced over an eighteen month period by four such families in Minnesota. The findings encourage development of a family support model of placement prevention for this population, as opposed to a crisis intervention model.

A demonstration project was undertaken in two of new York City's five boroughs using an intervention model to assess how a three-prong approach using outreach, provision of support groups, and case management could be used to aid grandparents acting as primary carers for children with developmental delay or disabilities. Several common themes were identified that warrant attention when working with older adults who assume later-age parenting roles: recruitment, pressing grandparents problems, unresponsive service systems, falling between the cracks, mutual support, and need for long-term planning.

Federal legislation mandated the development of comprehensive, coordinated service systems to meet the needs of infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. This article presents a training model that uses an interdisciplinary approach to train students from various disciplines, including social work, to work as interdisciplinary team members with families who have a disabled infant or toddler. School social workers will be expected to provide leadership on teams and service coordination in this field of early intervention. In responding to this challenge, the primary focus should be on coordinating the continuum of care needed by a family, It is critical that adequately trained personnel be available and have the skills to plan, deliver, and monitor early intervention services within a variety of delivery systems.
