Definition
CBRS is a periodic early intervention service provided for infants and toddlers ages birth to three years and their families. The infant/toddler must be diagnosed as one of the following to receive the service:
• Atypical Development- Atypical Development means that the child has received one of the following diagnosis: autism, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, delays in achieving emotional milestones, or “at risk for” or exhibit evidence of atypical patterns of behavior and social-emotional.
• Developmentally Delayed- A developmentally delayed child means the child has a delay in one or more of the following areas: cognitive development, physical development, including vision and hearing, communication, social and emotional, and adaptive skills.
• High Risk- High risk children means those for whom there is clinical evidence of conditions which have a high probability of resulting in developmental delay or atypical development and for whom there is clinical evidence that developmental or therapeutic intervention may be necessary.
The child must receive an assessment from the Children’s Developmental Service Agency (CDSA) to determine with or at risk for developmental disabilities, delays, or atypical development. The CDSA is the lead agency for children birth to three years of age and determines if the child qualifies for services. The CDSA is responsible for the development of the child’s IFSP that identifies criteria and time frames to be used to determine progress towards outcomes, planned habilitation procedures related to the outcomes, and a statement of the specific early intervention services to be provided to meet the child and family needs. The IFSP must be based on the results of the assessment and must be developed within forty-five days of referral. Each facility or individual who has a direct role in the provision of early intervention services specified in the IFSP is responsible for making a good faith effort to assist each eligible child in achieving the outcomes set forth in the service plan.
