Abstract
With growing numbers of developmental needs expressed in communities, the way services are delivered to families must change to assist children. A prevention model which provides multiple levels of support from prevention efforts to extensive, individualized interventions can assist practitioners in meeting the needs of children efficiently and effectively. In addition, prevention and intervention efforts are more effective when problems are clearly identified and tied to specific interventions which are evidence-based. The use of a problem-solving process gives practitioners a specific way to think about child concerns and develop and track progress of interventions matched to the child or children’s needs.
