title: The school nurse's role: early intervention with preschool children.
abstract: With the advent of PL99-457, preschoolers are increasingly appearing in the educational system. The school nurse must have an understanding of the basis for early entrance of these children and methods by which they obtain entry. This article focuses on the diagnosis of developmental delay in preschool children and identifies some of the specific roles and functions involving the school nurse.
