2. How do I get my child into the Early Intervention Program?
Start by calling your county’s health department to request a
developmental screening. A service coordinator will explain the
program and schedule the evaluation. An evaluation is required to
determine eligibility and which services are needed.

3. Who will conduct the evaluation?
A team of early childhood specialists including a professional who is
knowledgeable about overall development, and either a physical,
occupational or speech therapist based on your specific concerns.

4. How soon will I know if my child is eligible for Early Intervention?
The evaluation team shares the results with you immediately following
the evaluation. They will provide a summary of the tests used,
your child’s scores, and whether your child is eligible or ineligible
for Early Intervention services.

6. What is an IFSP?
The IFSP is an Individualized Family Service Plan, a written plan that
describes what you and your family hope to gain from Early Intervention
services and what services your child and family will receive to help
you reach your goals. This includes who, what, where and how
often the services will be provided. It is reviewed at least
twice each year.

7. Are the therapists working with my child licensed?
Our licensed therapists provide quality services for your child through
developmentally appropriate play and self care activities.

8. When and where will sessions be scheduled?
We will try to schedule appointments at times that work for you and
your family. Keep us updated on what is convenient for you.
Services can be provided at your home, your child’s babysitter or child
care center, or at our locations. A caregiver must be present
during the session.
