§ 875-102. Legislative findings for early intervention
Currentness
(a) Needs.--The General Assembly finds that there is a need to:
(1) Increase the opportunity for the development of infants, toddlers and eligible young children who are handicapped in order to minimize their potential for developmental delay.
(2) Minimize the need for special education services as these infants, toddlers and eligible young children who are handicapped attain the age of beginners.
(3) Reduce the number of handicapped individuals being placed in institutions and enhance their potential for independent living in society.
(4) Assist the families of handicapped infants and toddlers to meet their children's special needs.
(5) Implement the provisions of Parts B and H in order to be eligible to receive Federal funding to help establish and maintain programs and services to assist handicapped infants, toddlers and their families and eligible young children.
(b) Remedy.--The General Assembly further finds that early intervention services for handicapped infants, toddlers and their families and eligible young children are cost effective and effectively serve the developmental needs of children who are handicapped.
