Culminating Project: Can an integrated healthcare assessment explicitly developed for Early Intervention services benefit the overall development of children identified as a part of a marginalized community?
Dr. Rebecca Wright's culminating project, Can an integrated healthcare assessment explicitly developed for Early Intervention services benefit the overall development of children identified as an part of a marginalized community?, is an integrated healthcare assessment designed for children from marginalized communities who qualify for EI services. Early Intervention (EI) provides evaluations and services for children at risk of or diagnosed with developmental delays/disorders. Unfortunately, the high-risk population, which includes children below 200% of the federal poverty level, second-generation immigrants, and minority groups, is not consistently being referred for EI services. Children in poor communities lacking access to resources will have poor health outcomes later in life. The goal of Dr. Wright's project is to improve the quality of care for children from marginalized communities by addressing social determinants of health that impact childhood development.
