In this study, the investigators will only administer the intervention to children known to have neurodevelopmental delays. By focusing on adapting the intervention to be only a clinic-based treatment, a small number of community members could be trained to administer the program and increase the potential for sustainability. If the clinic-based group sessions prove to be effective for young children with neurodevelopmental delays, this would help inform the key areas of fidelity needed to maintain effectiveness of the intervention. This study is a critical first step to evaluating the Care for Child Development Intervention (CCDI) program's potential as a cross-cultural intervention that is sustainable and effective for the children at highest risk for neurodevelopmental delay. These results will have significant impacts in improving early childhood neurodevelopment both in Kenya and worldwide.
