The goal is to have special needs students spend at least 80% of their school day in standard classes. But only 8.8% of students do so in Washington.
All U.S. states and territories accept federal funding for this program. But staffing shortages have reached critical levels in recent years.
Since all U.S. states and territories accept federal funding for Early Intervention, they are obligated to provide services to kids who qualify under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.Some children wait months or years for the care they need, and many age out of the program before they access any services at all.
When children turn 3, the responsibility for providing special education services shifts from Early Intervention to school districts. But those systems are understaffed and booked up, too, according to speech-language pathologist Sarah Ziemba, an Early Intervention provider in Peoria, Illinois. “For Black children, the disparities in access to services are especially large and cannot plausibly be explained by differences in need,” the report says.“Poorer states are serving a lower percentage of children, so really suggesting that there is a problem there,” Friedman-Krauss said.
“In the long term, we’re seeing kids fall farther and farther behind,” said Ziemba, who has done this work for nearly 25 years.in June giving Early Intervention providers a 10% raise. That helps, Ziemba said, but likely won't make up for the impact of inflation and may not be enough to slow the steady exodus of workers. She and another provider say wages were stagnant for years.
When Aria was about a year old, Faulkner noticed that words the toddler had been using started to disappear. “She began screeching for everything that she wanted rather than asking us for help or gesturing." “Every month I have to sit down and reevaluate where I am and if I can keep going and doing this,” she said.Hilda Garcia’s son, Alexander, qualified for five Early Intervention therapies in 2021 — physical, occupational, developmental, behavioral and speech. But the family waited more than a year before he received any of those services in-person.
Garcia, who speaks English, is part of a primarily Spanish-speaking community in West Chicago, and she knows many parents can't advocate for their kids in a second language.
