This proposal aims to test whether a proposed community-clinical linkage (CCL), an educational-medical linkage model, improves access to school-based services and subsequent child, parent, family and health service outcomes and offers a promising strategy to address longstanding racial, ethnic and income health care disparities among families with preschool children with developmental delays and disabilities. The investigators designed an educational-clinical linkage model, Preschool and Me (PreM) which incorporates key components of a CCL. It also utilizes a personalized medical-education care plan with remote lay navigator support to increase access to school-based services.
