 EARLY INTERVENTION ("EI") is an integrated developmental service, offering 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.
