Key Messaging
Early intervention services, or Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, provide services and support to children (birth to age 3) with a delay or disability. Early intervention services are designed to help families enhance their children’s development and better meet their needs.
- Early intervention services help parents and other caregivers encourage children’s learning during their typical day-to-day activities.
- Services are provided where children and families spend their time. This could be at home, in a day care center or other community setting. As a parent, you know best what works for your child, so together with your EDIS team, you will decide the best ways to help your child, using everyday activities.
- The EDIS team works with families by providing information about child development and other resources to support children’s learning.
- Early intervention staff will give you ideas for learning at home and in the community, and information about other agencies you may need to help you achieve your goals for your child and family.
What services are provided by EDIS?
-
- Developmental screenings to assist you with determining if your child is meeting developmental milestones.
- Developmental evaluations to determine if your child has delays in development and is eligible for early intervention services from EDIS.
- Individualized family service plan for eligible children to identify your goals and needs regarding your child’s development.
- Early intervention services to support you with reaching the goals you have for your child and family.
