ResumoSeveral of the major problems in special programs for handicapped children are the needs to devise effective methods of early case finding, of early referring for treatment and rehabilitation of high caliber, and of ongoing supervision for the necessary period of time.

Most of the states and some large cities have had such items on the live birth certificates for a number of years.
