Early Intervention ("EI") is an integrated developmental service, offering both evaluation and therapeutic services to children birth to three years of age for whom there are developmental concerns due to biological, medical or environmental factors. EI services are provided individually in the home, in small integrated groups at our center and in a range of community settings. A variety of parent support, educational and resource referral services are also provided.

Early Intervention services place a premium on community collaboration and the provision of professional individualized services for each child and family. It is a remarkably flexible service model that is tailored to each child's therapeutic issues and receptive to changing family needs.

Services Offered:

• Screening and evaluation for all infants and toddlers;
• Service coordination;
• Individualized therapeutic services in Social Work, Nursing, Developmental Education, Speech, Occupational & Physical Therapy;
• Integrated community playgroups;
• Playgroups with a specialization for children with autism and children with hearing loss;
• Transportation to playgroups, as needed;
• Referrals to specialty services, when appropriate;
• Provision of training for community child care providers;
• Specialized training for staff in the area of PDD/autism;
• Transition planning and liaison work with SPED providers & private pre-schools
