This brief focuses on the special needs of adolescent parents and their children and on how Early Head Start (EHS) programs can support them. The authors examine the benefits of EHS participation when either the child or a parent has a disability, or when the family is involved with the child welfare system. Topics include an overview of EHS, what is known about adolescent parents and their children in EHS, adolescent parent families, child abuse and neglect, and disabilities; partnering with early intervention and disability services; and next steps for EHS to better serve adolescents.
