Description for Meeting the Needs of Children with Disabilities
Paperback. Series: Urban Institute Press. Num Pages: 138 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: JPQB; RPC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). .
Seldom do the needs of children with disabilities divide neatly along program lines. Instead, children and their families navigate a large, complex, and fragmented array of programs with inconsistent eligibility standards, application procedures, and program goals. "Meeting the Needs of Children with Disabilities" examines these programs, focusing on the three largest—special education, Medicaid, and Supplemental Security Income—and suggests ways to unify them into one system that will provide continuous care and support. Efforts at early intervention and prevention and difficulties caused by programs' funding structures are given particular attention.
