Early Intervention
Stay on Track

Early Intervention is a partnership between families and service providers to support and enhance the development of infants and toddlers who need extra help. 
 
Early Intervention provides services for infants and toddlers that are designed to identify and help a child with a delay as early as possible.  It promotes development early in a child's life.  The professionals are knowledgeable about infant/toddler developmental tools that can be used to assess a child's needs.
 
Your Service Coordinator Will:
  • Provide a developmental evaluation at no cost
  • Determine if your child is eligible for Early Intervention
  • Help you explore options and select services
  • Ensure that an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is developed based on your child's unique needs and your family's goals and priorities
  • Offer information about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Parent's Rights in Early Intervention
  • Support transition from Help Me Grow to preschool special education and/or other early education opportunities
  • Link you to other community resources and information

 

Call Help Me Grow for more Information about available programs or if you
have any concerns about how your infant or toddler is growing.
