School-based Support for Preschoolers with Developmental Delays
This study is looking at whether a program called "Preschool and Me" (PreM) can help preschool-aged children with developmental delays or disabilities get the school-based services they need. PreM uses patient navigation services and a special medical-educational care plan to connect medical and school systems. We want to see if this program helps more children enroll in special education programs or Chicago Public Schools, receive school-based therapies, and get these services in a timely way. You can join if your child is 3-5 years old and has a developmental delay or disability, or is at risk for one. The study aims to enroll 320 parent-child pairs. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study where 320 participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the Preschool and Me program immediately or after a 6-month delay.
- What's involved
- Participants will be followed for 12 months, with data collected at the start, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
- Compensation
