What are Early Intervention Services and Supports?

 
   
Early Intervention services include, among other things, information on how children develop, early childhood education and interventions which can help your child to move his or her body, ideas for how your family can help your child at home and in the community, and plans designed to help you enhance your child's growing and learning.  
   
You are the expert about your child. The dreams, visions and hopes, recommendations orsuggestions that you have for your child and family are uniquely yours. Only you know how these dreams and hopes can make a difference for your family, now and in the future. No one can guarantee that they will come true, but sharing them with other members on your early intervention team allows others to know what is important to your family. This information will help your early intervention team to create meaningful individualized services and supports. With your input early intervention services will be provided in a family centered way.  
   
What does the term Family Centered mean? Family centered means that your child's services and/or supports are based upon the strengths and needs, concerns, priorities and resources as identified by you, the child's family. Services and supports are designed to respect your family's concerns, interests, values and priorities.
