OUR COMPREHENSIVE EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES FOR INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN HELP THEM LEARN TO WALK, FEED AND DRESS THEMSELVES, COMMUNICATE AND SOCIALIZE WITH OTHERS, AND GAIN A HEAD START ON A LIFE OF INDEPENDENCE. THE PROGRAM ALSO TEACHES THE CHILD'S FAMILY TO REINFORCE THIS LEARNING AT HOME.

CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM UNTIL THE CHILD HAS ACHIEVED THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF FUNCTIONING OR UNTIL THE CHILD REACHES THE AGE OF 86 YEARS.
