Easter Seals Participant Early Intervention Services

Early Intervention Services are available to all families and may be accessed in a number of ways.

If you ever have any concerns regarding any specific area of your child's development, we encourage you to contact Easter Seals to request a free screening. Therapists can complete screenings in the following areas: speech-language, developmental (cognitive, self-help, social, motor), vision and hearing.

For children with special needs, an Easter Seals Early Intervention Specialist is available to assist families in locating the services they need.

Families have several options for how services are delivered:

In the convenience of your home, an Easter Seals therapist will work one-on-one with your child to help him or her reach their developmental goals. These therapy services are integrated into the child's daily routines at home.

You can bring your child to Easter Seals for a scheduled appointment. This option enables you to ask questions and to participate in the therapy session.

Therapists can join the child within their day care/preschool classroom and help him or her reach their goals during the natural routine of their day.

Therapists can also visit your child in a community child care center of your choice.

No matter where or when the therapy services are delivered, therapists work closely with families and appropriate staff members in identifying outcomes and follow through strategies for achieving success.
