Preventive services to assist parents to understand their children's developmental needs and to devise positive, culturally appropriate strategies for managing them are not recognized as important by most third party health service payers, especially managed care programs. Room-To-Grow is an intervention designed to meet identified community needs in a culturally appropriate and sensitive way. This article discusses the evolution of this intervention and the problems encountered in finding appropriate reimbursement streams.
