Our Programs
What is Early Intervention (EI)?
- We serve infants and toddlers from birth to age 3 with developmental delays or disabilities.
- All services are free and personalized to the children we serve, and treatment plans are determined based on the family and EI team working together in their natural environments.
- A child can be referred to our program by any adult that is concerned about their development, such as parents, teachers, and pediatricians.
Our specialists include:
- Developmental Specialists /Educators
