| Abstract: | Abstract Interdisciplinary teams provide a comprehensive evaluation for children with disabilities and their families and generate appropriate recommendations. Although recommendations are provided with the expectation that the families will follow through and obtain these services for their children and for themselves, it is not clear which recommended services have been obtained by the families. In this four-month follow-up of 36 families, it was found that 84% of educational services, 89% of medical services, and 49% of the social services recommended to the families were obtained. The barriers to families obtaining recommended services are also discussed. |
