Washington Resources: Identifying and Addressing Needs

Each of the pilot projects in Washington State distributed information and resources on early childhood development to parents.  Whatcom County convened local pediatric physicians, agencies, and other children’s health service providers as part of its project.  Finally, in collaboration with the University of Washington, educational materials about child development services (CHILD Health Notes) were developed and disseminated to all health care providers in Whatcom and Snohomish counties.

This section contains resources for “Identifying and Addressing Needs" developed by Washington State.


  • Infant Toddler Early Intervention Program (ITEIP) website
    Washington State Department of Social and Health Resources (2007) This Early Intervention website provides useful information on appropriate developmental milestones as well as available services to parents and providers.
