The present investigation studied provision of early intervention services for young children. 377 programs in Ohio were interviewed with respect to the number of young handicapped and “at risk” children participating, the types of services provided children and their parents, and budget information. Younger children (0–2 yr.) and those from rural areas were less frequently involved than older children from urban and semiurban areas. While a wide range of services were provided children and their parents, there was considerable variability in the proportion of programs providing these services. Public sources of funding provide the bulk of support for early intervention services, while private sources provide supplementary, but decreasing, support for services
