Neal Halfon, Moira Inkelas, Melinda Abrams, and Gregory Stevens. (New York, NY: The Commonwealth Fund. May 2005). This report examines how even as policymakers increasingly understand the importance of children's early years for promoting health, learning, and school readiness and for identifying and mediating risk that can compromise later functioning, not all parents receive the services needed to identify developmental and behavioral issues in early childhood. To improve the quality of early childhood health care, the authors recommend national standards, enhanced reimbursement, improved provider training, and a strategy of raising parents' expectations of pediatric care.
