This study investigated the degree to which a large urban inner city school district implemented the recommendations of an early intervention program that fed into its schools. Fifty-two African-American children who received early intervention services were followed through a parent questionnaire. Results showed that the assessment and identification information provided by the early intervention team was highly accurate. The recommendations from competent early intervention teams can be an effective assessment method for children entering school with speech/language delays.
