This article presents a descriptive analysis of the early intervention services received by a group of 68 toddler-age children. The children were 30 months of age and early intervention services were delivered within childcare centers. Data were collected across family, child, and service characteristics. Results suggested that the children were receiving services distributed across special instruction, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy delivered primarily at the childcare center. The families consisted mostly of two-parent households, having at least one parent employed. The Individual Family Service Plans primarily contained child-focused outcomes. Recommendations for service delivery improvements and future research are included.
