What to Look For in Early Intervention

Early intervention provides therapy and support services for children birth to age 3 with developmental delays or disabilities. Services are often provided in the home and are typically free through state programs.

  • Comprehensive evaluation services
  • Family-centered approach
  • Variety of therapy options (speech, OT, developmental)
  • Smooth transition planning to preschool
  • Parent coaching and education

Insurance: Early intervention is a federal entitlement (Part C of IDEA) and is free or low-cost to families. Contact your state's early intervention program directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access early intervention services?
Contact your state's early intervention program for a free evaluation. In California, Regional Centers coordinate early intervention.
Is there a waitlist for early intervention?
Federal law requires evaluation within 45 days of referral and services to begin promptly. However, some areas have provider shortages.
What happens when my child turns 3?
Children transition from early intervention to school district preschool special education. Transition planning should begin at age 2.5.
Do I need a diagnosis to get early intervention?
No. Children with developmental delays qualify even without a specific diagnosis. The evaluation determines eligibility.
