title: Adolescent pregnancy and early intervention programs benefit from case management.
abstract: Case Management methods are being adapted to effectively serve two vulnerable populations: pregnant and parenting adolescents, and infants and toddlers with disabilities of developmental delay and their families. This article describes the case management model developed by California's Adolescent Family Life program and discusses issues related to providing family-centered, community-based case management in early intervention programs.
