What if a referral source is not sure if the child meets the new eligibility criteria?
If a child is thought to be eligible for the Infant Toddler Program, a referral should be made to the CDSA. The CDSA is responsible for responding to referrals, designating an Early Intervention Service Coordinator, determining eligibility, and making arrangements for the initial Infant-Toddler Program evaluation. In certain circumstances (e.g., under the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act or CAPTA), referrals are mandated.
