This toolkit
is designed to assist
providers (i.e. child care, early intervention service
providers, education
providers, home visitors, primary care
providers, those serving homeless children and
families, and others) who serve
families with young children (birth - 5) in providing effective and sustainable practices
for referral and follow - up processes to ensure that these children
are linked to appropriate services that
best fit their developmental needs.
According to the ASHRA study, children and other
family members
are the number one
providers of assistance to seniors, but the availability of other services and resources at the community level (transportation, health clinics, and opportunities
for social / leisure engagement) should
be assessed to help find the
best fit for today's seniors and the boomers buying another home.
