Many young children have developmental or behavioral problems that could be addressed with appropriate services but are not identified or treated before entering kindergarten, compromising a child's ability to perform up to full potential in school and leading to costly special education and health care interventions later.

This brief discusses referrals to services to address developmental delays and behavioral and physical health problems.
