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.
