Just a fraction of the nations children with
disabilities and developmental delays may beaccessing the early intervention services they need, anew advocacy group report suggests.
An analysis released Tuesday by Easter Sealsindicates that fewer than 3 percent of kids areparticipating in the government-funded Individualswith Disabilities Education Act Part C program,which offers early intervention services to children
up to age 3.
At the same time, estimates suggest that almost 13percent of children across the country should qualify.
The report offers a state-by-state profile of thenumber of children served by the early interventionprogram.
Six states stood out Massachusetts, Rhode Island,New Mexico, Wyoming, New York and New
Hampshire for serving at least 4 percent ofchildren.
Meanwhile, seven states and the District of Columbiaprovided early intervention to fewer than 2 percent ofkids under age 3, the report found.
With the right investment in treatment and therapybefore the age of five, we can ensure every child inAmerica can enter school ready to learn, said Katy
Neas, senior vice president of government relations at
Easter Seals.
However, Neas and her colleagues note that thereport offers just a piece of the picture.
Thats because they say less than 20 percent of
children in most states are properly screened forspecial needs.

A first-of-its-kind program launching in January
is designed to make obtaining a four-year degreemore attainable for people with developmentaldisabilities.
The bachelors degree program from Sage
Colleges in Albany, N.Y. includes a traditional120 credit hours, but features small classes, extrasupports and a modified course schedule to meetthe needs of students with autism and otherspecial needs.
All class instructors will be trained to work withstudents with disabilities and coursework will bepresented in a variety of ways to accommodatedifferent learning styles, officials at the schoolsay.
Whats more, students in the program known as
the Achieve Degree will each have personalsupport from a behavior analyst.
The program, which will focus on computer
science, will run year-round, with six, eight-week sessions allowing students to juggle fewercourses at a time while still completing arigorous academic program.
By allowing students to focus on one or two
topics per term, faculty and mentors are able towork closely with students to provide the sorts offeedback and interaction that facilitate learning,said Terry Weiner, provost at Sage.
Further, by eliminating long periods ofinactivity such as summer break, students areable to stay focused in study mode and not risk
losing valuable intellectual connections andstudy skills that must then be regained, slowingforward momentum toward the degree.
