Early Intervention

Early Intervention Service Coordination is available through CCR  for children ages birth through three years, who have a developmental delay or a medical diagnosis which may put them at risk for having a diagnosis of Mental Retardation later on.  

A Service Coordinator will assist families in developing an individualized family support plan which outlines therapy providers and services. Service coordinators help families locate community resources and monitor services to ensure that both child and family needs are being met.  

Any child between birth and three years can be referred for Early Intervention. The family will have an intake scheduled with an EarIy Intervention Service Coordinator and be referred to the county’s independent team for a comprehensive developmental evaluation.

If a child is found to have a delay of 25% or greater in any area of development (motor/ cognitive/ speech and language/ self-help/ social-emotional) the family will be offered the appropriate Early Intervention services to help remediate the delay.
