Description:
Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) is a program for families with children birth up to age 3, with developmental delays, disabilities or certain medical diagnoses that may impact development. ECI services support families as they learn how to help their children grow and learn.
This program provides:
- Individualize Family Service Plan (IFSP)
Service plans may include:
- Home-based services
- Case management
- Discharge planning
- Speech therapy
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Nutrition education
- Evaluation and assessment
- Translation and interpreter services, including sign language
ECI asks families who can afford to do so to share in the cost of services. This is called the Family Cost Share. The amount a family pays for services is determined using a sliding-fee scale and is based on family size and income, after allowable deductions. No child or family will be turned away because of an inability to pay.
If you are concerned that an infant or toddler may have a developmental delay or disability, contact ECI for an evaluation. ECI will determine if a child needs services and is eligible to receive them. The family will be involved in the evaluation, assessments and planning next steps.
