The requirements seem to eliminate the category of Atypical Development as a reason a child might be found eligible for services, which would reduce the number of children able to access support through EI. This would negatively impact many kids, but would especially affect children referred due to concerns about social-emotional development. Many of the assessment tools available to EI providers do not look at all components of social-emotional development, and provide broad age ranges for developmental skills in this area. If providers must find a delay of 25% or more, many children who exhibit concerning behaviors, insecure attachment, and difficulties with emotional regulation would be found ineligible and not able to access needed services-while these concerns impact the child's functioning in their day to day routines, they often do not cause a delay of more than 25%. This will place an increased burden on Part B and social services systems, as children and families who do not receive supports for these concerns early on will need more intensive support down the road.
