TRACE uses a model that shows how child find, early identification, referral, eligibility determination, and enrollment in Part C early intervention or Part B(619) preschool special education programs are procedurally and functionally related. Any number of population-based sources of information about eligible or potentially eligible children constitute the focus of child find and referral as well as eaerly identification. According to the model, child find is considered a set of activities that locate children eligible or potentially eligible for early intervention or preschool special education, where child find leads to early identification or referral or both. Early identification is considered a means for eligibility determination that promotes enrollment in early intervention or preschool special education programs.
