It is recognized that there is a significant overhead cost to operating such programs, mostly involved in travel time for line staff and supervisors. LLS has thus focused its home-based program on the youngest children being referred to the program, the transferring children to its centre-based program as they get older. School-based programs also come with the same overhead issues as home-based programs. However, there is also the issue of working with individual schools to set up positive working relationships between both organizations. Clearly this is necessary as the children get older, as they will be spending greater amounts of time in school than at LLS. Going forward, LLS will continue to develop its base of local expertise while attempting to increase the intensity of its early intervention program. Once a more stable service operation has been established, LLS will also turn to deve oping more formal outcome measures to document the impact its services are having on the development of the children and families it serves.
