Abstract

There is a national shortage of early intervention (EI) providers for young children with disabilities or developmental delays. This needs assessment study employed in-depth semi-structured interviews to explore the perspectives of EI program directors ( n = 27) across a large state on provider retention efforts. Through a qualitative analysis, we identified 12 themes across four overarching categories—(a) compensation and financial incentives, (b) program management and organization, (c) positive climate and culture, and (d) training and mentoring. We discuss implications and suggestions for future research.

期刊介绍： Topics in Early Childhood Special Education (TECSE) communicates information about early intervention, which is defined broadly and includes services provided to (a) infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are at risk for or display developmental delays and disabilities and (b) the families of such youngsters. TECSE includes articles on personnel preparation, policy issues, and operation of intervention programs. The intent is to publish information that will improve the lives of young children and their families. Manuscripts from (a) diverse theoretical perspectives, (b) all disciplines related to early intervention, and (c) all authors with information of value to the early intervention community are welcome. There are two topical issues—which address an identified problem, trend, or subject of concern and importance to early intervention—and two non-topical issues.
