Abstract: There is a national shortage of early intervention (EI) providers for young children with disabilities or developmental delays. This needs assessment study employed in-depth semi-structured interviews to explore the perspectives of EI program directors (N = 27) across a large U.S. state on provider retention efforts. Through a qualitative analysis, we identified 12 themes across four overarching categories--(a) compensation and financial incentives, (b) program management and organization, (c) positive climate and culture, and (d) training and mentoring. We discuss implications and suggestions for future research.
