Recent research and child care legislation has brought about a change in emphasis in services for families where there is a child with disabilities. Reports on the results of an evaluation of a multi-agency Children's Centre providing multi-disciplinary services, where different agencies and professionals work together to provide a holistic service. Assesses how far the Centre was carrying out an integrated approach in order to meet the needs of children and carers. Results indicated that while staff felt there was still some way to go to provide a seamless service, the vast majority of parents felt that the Centre did meet its aims. Explores the reasons for these differences, but concludes that there is evidence that professionals can successfully work together with one shared aim; and that such multi-agency centres work for families.

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.
