Iowa implemented two pilot projects to test and refine minimum standards for Level One services and linkages to existing Level Two services. Pilot implementation included initial training and ongoing support by a team that included physicians and state staff. These pilots also tested the use of screening tools and other materials developed to support the practices' efforts to identify and refer young children with mental developmental needs.
