EARLY INTERVENTION - HELP ME GROW is a home visitation program designed to assist families with children who are developmentally delayed or have a medical diagnosis that could result in developmental delays up to age three. Our Early Intervention Specialist help parents build a positive, developmentally appropriate and safe home life for their children. They help parents understand their child’s development, provide parenting information, help parents advocate for themselves with doctors, therapists and other specialists, as well as assist parents in discovering and making use of helpful resources in the community.
Parent Meetings give parents the opportunity to network with other parents of young children and to learn additional ways to support and strengthen their families. Refreshments, childcare, and transportation (when needed) are provided. |
WHAT IS EARLY INTERVENTION?
Early Intervention (EI) is a statewide system that provides coordinated services to parents of infants and toddlers with disabilities.
EI is grounded in the philosophy that young children learn best from familiar people in familiar settings. That's why your local EI team, which includes a service coordinator and service providers, works with you in your home or other places you and your family spend time to develop a coordinated plan.
