This volume contains contributions that are interdisciplinary and
inter national. The editors believe this is an especially timely
and promising enterprise, for both sources of diversity are needed
for improving our abilities to identify the young child at risk and
to prevent disability. In terms of diSciplines, the volume brings
together papers by health care providers (such as pediatricians and
public health nurses) as well as educators and psychologists. Each
of these groups works in dissimilar settings and faces dissimilar
problems: Health care providers seek sim ple identification
procedures for use in busy primary care settings; psy chologists
emphasize well-constructed research designs; and educators reflect
the need for early identification and education. Each of these spe
cialist groups has something to offer the other, but too often each
tends to limit its publications and readings to its own discipline,
thus failing to capitalize on a wider scope. of knowledge and
practice. We hope that this selection of papers will allow all
readers addressing the early iden tification of children at risk to
generate a more integrated interdiscipli nary perspective. We also
hope this volume reflects the sense of excitement that we feel from
a sharing of international perspectives. There is no single ap
proach to the early identification of children at risk that is
universally applicable to all countries. In addition, approaches
within each country vary because of availability of financial and
human resources and dif fering expectations of local communities."
