Section 75-04-06-04 - Criteria for service eligibility - Children birth through age two

1. Service eligibility for children from birth through age two is based on distinct and separate criteria designed to enable preventive services to be delivered. Young children may have conditions which could result in substantial functional limitations if early and appropriate intervention is not provided. The collective professional judgment of the team must be exercised to determine whether the child has a high-risk condition or has a developmental delay, and if the child may need early intervention services. If a child, from birth through age two, has a high-risk condition or has a developmental delay, the child may be included on the caseload of an intellectual disabilities - developmental disabilities program manager and considered for those services designed to meet specific needs. Eligibility for continued service inclusion through intellectual disabilities - developmental disabilities program management must be redetermined by age three using criteria specified in section 75-04-06-02.1.
