What is Early Childhood Intervention?
Sometimes babies are born with a condition or special need that affects
their development. Other times a condition is not apparent at birth, but
over time parents and doctors begin to wonder if the child is developing
appropriately.
Early Childhood Intervention means finding specific ways to help a child
become as functional as possible.
 To
begin, a child's developmental abilities are evaluated. Once evaluated, the
child can receive the appropriate therapy - or other type of early
intervention - he or she needs.
In some situations, the therapy a child receives at an early age enables
that child to reach developmental milestones on target or close to target.
In other words, early intervention can sometimes help a child "catch up" to
peers.
There is support and education for the family as well.

Therapy Options
Thankfully, there are many ways to deal with childhood developmental
delays and behaviors. These include in-home services, outpatient (you take
your child to a clinic), inpatient (following injury or surgery) and school
based services. Which type of therapy should you choose?
