Educational & Developmental Intervention Services

Why would your family need early intervention services?

Your baby starts learning the day they are born. This learning happens through everyday activities and interactions, such as getting dressed, eating meals, playing with toys, and being part of other family activities.
During the first three years, your baby will learn many important skills needed for future learning and getting ready for school.
Every child learns differently. Some will reach certain milestones faster than others. Some will need a little help.
Because you know your child best, you might notice that they are growing or developing differently than other children of the same age.
If you have questions, concerns or think your baby needs a little help to learn, it is very important to ask for it as early as possible to be sure your baby has the best outcome.
