What is Early Intervention?
Early Intervention is a family oriented program that is a collection of professional services that supports families who have children that are experiencing developmental and learning delays.

- An early interventionist will meet with your child, assess their development to determine your child's strengths and needs, and create an action plan. These early intervention evaluations are free of cost.
Family Training
- One-on-one home visits from a professional Early Interventionist who will work to equip your family with the skills that help your child reach their maximum potential.
Service Coordination
- We provide service coordination to our patients by helping families receive resources such as therapies and other activities to help their child reach their maximum potential. This service is available to the child for the entire time that he or she receives early intervention services.
