Early Intervention
Do
you have questions or concerns about your infant or toddler's development?
or Has you pediatrician recommended that you request an evaluation?
Any parent or guardian can ask for a developmental assessment of their birth to three-year-old child by calling Cape Cod Child Development's Early Childhood Intervention Program. An assessment will be scheduled and conducted in your home to determine his/her strengths and needs and to determine if your family is eligible for services. The team will arrive with a box of toys, and will work with you to get the most complete picture they can from playing with your child, observing him/her, and talking with you.
If eligible, the Early Intervention staff then offers a family-centered team approach where services are delivered in the natural environments of the child and his family. This may include your home, a childcare site, a playground, a local playgroup, the beach or another community setting. One professional is assigned as the primary service coordinator, and she will provide a full range of resources, support and developmental services. The family and Early Intervention professional will develop and implement an individualized plan together that addresses the priorities of each family.
The
Early Childhood Intervention Program serves families with young
children between the ages of birth and three years old who have
developmental delays or disabilities, or those who are at risk for
developmental delays. Funded by the Department of Public Health,
Medicaid, Mass Health and private insurance companies, our staff
(consisting of early childhood and special educators, social workers,
psychologists, physical and occupational therapists, speech pathologists,
and nurses) serves families on Cape Cod and the Islands of Nantucket
and Martha's Vineyard.
For Additional Information or to Schedule an Assessment, please call the Early Intervention Program at 800-974-8860 x450.
