If you’re concerned that a child may have a delay or disability, it’s important to refer them for Early Intervention as soon as possible. Early Intervention can address all types of concerns, like crawling or walking, speech delays, or social interaction like playing with other children.
How does Early Intervention work for families?
- Once the family is assigned to an early intervention provider, that provider will walk the family through the eligibility process and determine the next steps.
- If a child is eligible for services, the family and service coordinator will develop a plan to support the family on their journey to help their child get their best possible start in life.
- Parents and families are the center of a child’s development. That’s why service coordinators and other service providers work closely with the family to help build their skills and confidence in supporting their child and to help them navigate the journey with their child.
