Child Find ACCESS Model Guide

The Child Find ACCESS Model Guide provides instructions and considerations for local and state early intervention (EI) leaders implementing the evidence-based Child Find ACCESS model to improve their child find system.

Every community is different, so flexibility is built into the model and reflected in this guide. As content experts, your community’s leadership team will determine what issues to address, how to address them, and who should be involved. You can and should adapt the model to meet the needs of your community.

The audience for this guide is EI staff and other system partners engaging in the child find system improvement process.
