Berman C, Biro P, Fenichel ES, eds. 1989. Keeping track: Tracking systems for high risk infants and young children. (2nd ed.). Washington, DC: National Center for Clinical Infant Programs, 116 pp. (Walker)

Annotation: This publication presents tracking systems implemented by 15 states which participated in the Project Zero to Three network. The tracking systems seek to address the need for early, reliable, and consistent identification and followup of children at risk for developmental disability. The publication describes the purposes, issues/barriers, and future plans of the tracking systems, and demonstrates how states may form linkages between prevention, early identification, and early intervention services. Realistic goals for a tracking system, criteria for including children, ethical issues, instruments and techniques for optimal tracking, terminology, and parental involvement are discussed.
