Although these three themes were shared by medical and early intervention providers, the differing perspectives of each produced subthemes unique to the two professional fields.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Early intervention services can limit the neurodevelopmental deficits experienced by young children with SCD; however, most children with SCD do not receive these services.
