title: Promoting the overall development of infants and young children receiving home health services.
abstract: Because of medical conditions and/or as a result of prolonged hospitalization, many children receiving home health services demonstrate developmental delays. Home health personnel can play an important role in promoting a young child's developmental progress by being informed of the early intervention services available in the community, facilitating referral to needed developmental services, and incorporating developmentally appropriate strategies into their every day care.
