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.
