      ab: In order to provide effective developmental therapy services in early childhood programs, program administrators, university faculty, and state planners must understand the role and function of occupational and physical therapists and speech-language pathologists in Part H and B programs. This article identifies three challenges to incorporating these services: (1) transforming traditional medical model services, (2) meeting the demand for qualified personnel, and (3) adequately preparing therapists in preservice professional programs as well as supporting those in practice. Promising practices for incorporating developmental therapy services are discussed for each of the three challenges.
