view_day  Overview

During the evaluation for eligibility process, we looked at your child’s development in five domains. During the child and family assessment process, we gathered information about your child’s functional abilities in everyday activities and routines. Children’s functional abilities overlap domains of development so we combine them and summarize all functional abilities, strengths, and needs into three functional outcome areas. This is the summary of what we have discovered so that our plan fits well with your child’s developmental strengths and interests. Sources of information may include conversations we’ve had with you, observations of your child in daily routines, eligibility evaluations, child and family assessment activities, and outside reports.

Additionally, together, we will consider and identify how your child’s functioning in these three areas compares to other children his / her age. This helps us to help you support your child’s development and participation in daily activities AND helps us to understand how children benefit from participation in the Maryland Infants & Toddlers Program.

For children to be active and successful participants at home, in the community, and in places like child care or preschool programs, they need to develop skills in three functional areas:

1. developing positive social-emotional skills & relationships
2. acquiring and using knowledge and skills
3. using appropriate behaviors to meet needs

We use information about your child's present levels of development, your family's concerns, resources and priorities, and your daily routines to understand your child's individual progress in relation to him/herself and to same age peers. This information supports the development of meaningful outcomes for your child and family.
