Child and Family Connections Program Overview

Early Intervention is a program for families with children ages birth to three years who have concerns about their child’s development. 

Children are determined eligible for Early Intervention if they experience a delay of 30% or more in their development based on evaluations or if they have an eligible medical diagnosis, such as cerebral palsy or Down syndrome.  Children who are at risk of developing a delay can also be determined eligible for Early Intervention. 

Growing and learning doesn’t happen in the same way for every child.   Your child may do things later or differently than others his age, but early identification of delays may reduce the impact of delays on a child’s development.
