The Early Intervention Program is a statewide program administered locally, providing a wide array of services to eligible infants and toddlers with disabilities or special needs, and their families. United Cerebral Palsy Centers offer an Early Intervention Program in its 2-3 county area.
Parents help select desired services, depending on the child's needs.
Services are provided in the home, or in a community setting such as day care at the various United Cerebral Palsy centers. All children are screened to determine if further evaluation is warranted. Or, are there other behaviors causing you concern, feel free to contact us. A Comprehensive Developmental Evaluation helps to determine if a child is eligible for early intervention services, and what types of services may be needed. Watching the child at play, preferably in a natural setting.
