Inclusive opportunities are also provided in three centers for a limited number of children who do not meet the criteria of Early Intervention services but are at-risk for developmental delays. These centers provide activities that enable children to be together as they participate in learning experiences with varying developmental levels. They are located in our Lehigh, West and South I Centers. Medically Fragile Services Registered nurses provide medical services throughout the day to children who are medically complex or technology dependent. These services are available at our Lehigh, Redeemer, South I and West Centers.
Nurses are also available for consultation at all of our other sites.
Services are delivered to eligible children in a variety of early childhood settings, including Head Start, Comprehensive Day Care and community child care programs. Children may also receive Home-based Services for a variety of reasons, including parental choice. The goal of this program is for our teachers and therapists to empower parents in their role as primary facilitator in their child's learning and growth. Therapists and teachers work together to integrate the child's educational and therapeutic needs within their home environment. Related Services Related services, including speech, occupational, and physical therapies, are educationally based and integrated into the instructional program of each child.
