Description
Early Intervention works in partnership with families to promote the growth and development of infants and toddlers. Our services help children from birth to three years of age who have or may have a disability, are experiencing developmental delay, or are at risk for significant developmental problems. Early Intervention consists of a multidisciplinary team, which works in partnership with families. The team works diligently to provide services that are respectful of a familyâs values, incorporating strategies into a childâs natural environments â meaning everyday life routines and places. All services are family-centered and individualized to ensure the most successful outcomes for a child and their family.
