Early intervention
What is Early Intervention?
Early Intervention is a family directed program that provides developmental instructions to parents and caregivers. Early Interventionists provide special instructions each week to your child in their natural environment which could include your home, daycare center or a familiar place in the community. The EI teaches families to work with their child through play, crafts, and everyday routines to assist their child in meeting developmental milestones.
An early interventionist also provides service coordination. Service coordination will help connect your child to services that they could benefit from including:
Therapy Services:
*Speech Therapy
*Physical Therapy
*Occupational Therapy
*Feeding Therapy
*Autism Services
*Behavioral Services
*Genetic Testing
*Assistance applying for government programs such as Social Security, Medicaid, childcare through ABC couches and various waivers
*Referral to community-based support groups
