Concerned about How a Child is Growing, Learning or Developing?
Early Intervention serves children birth to age 3 with a developmental delay or disability. Services are offered at no cost to families, there are no income requirements to participate.
An Early Intervention evaluation helps families know if their child needs extra support or is right on track.
Parenting Children 9 to 13 Years Old
To support your child during these years, it’s helpful to understand how they are changing physically and emotionally.
It’s normal for a child at this age to start turning away from their parents and more toward their friends. But children still need the support and guidance of their parents (even when they say they don’t).
Special Education for School-Age Children
Many children need extra support for their development in the early years. Some children will continue to need support as they enter school.
For children who qualify for extra educational support, the public school system will provide special instruction, support and services, at no cost to the family, so each child can reach their full potential. The support plans use acronyms that sound similar and can be confusing : IFSP, IEP, 504 plan.
