Abstract	Early intervention (EI) provides critical services to families with young children who have diagnosed disabilities, developmental delays, or who are at-risk for developmental delays. Very little is known about the experiences of adolescent mothers who have children who qualify for EI services. The authors investigated the perceptions of adolescent and adult mothers from two states whose infants or toddlers received EI services. Descriptive and qualitative analyses were performed. Qualitative analyses indicate different views relating to EI services and interactions with EI providers for mothers in each state between and within age groups. Both groups identified positive experiences, such as the professional support and other resources they received. Adult mothers reported difficulties primarily concerning access to needed services for their children. Implications are discussed. (As Provided).
