Early Intervention Services

Overview

Early intervention is the term used to describe the services and supports that are available to infants and toddlers with developmental delays and/or areas of difficulty. Early intervention can have a significant impact on a child’s ability to learn new skills and overcome challenges and can increase success in school and life. Early identification of delays and difficulties, with appropriate and timely action, has been shown to produce better life outcomes in social development, speech-language skills, fine and gross motor skills, emotional development, and increased independence. The first step in determining whether early intervention would be appropriate is an evaluation of the child’s development to assess if there are any delays or areas of difficulty. If a concern is identified, there is a wide range of intervention possibilities.
