Meeting the Challenge of Change

Implementing P.L. 99-457

University of Idaho

Early interventionists are facing major changes in the manner in which they design and deliver services, due to the requirements set forth in Public Law 99-457. These changes may be poorly implemented or fail altogether unless strategies for promoting them are adopted. This article adapts change procedures designed by organizational theorists within the field of business and applies them to the challenge facing early intervention programs. A five-step plan for change is presented and discussed, including the factor of resistance to change.
