Early Intervention Helps Children Reach Their Potential
Much has been written about the importance of a child's first
five years of life. What a baby does and experiences during these
early years gives him a foundation upon which later skills are
developed. That's why it's so important to identify which babies can
benefit from early intervention.
In some states, if your child is eligible for early intervention,
you will receive these services at no charge. Other states may
charge a fee, depending on the agencies involved.
