Coshocton County MRDD - Early Intervention

early intervention program

Early Intervention is a collection of family centered services designed to help families learn about their child's development and provide assistance to children who are showing signs of, or are at risk for, developmental delay. Early Intervention during the first few years of a child's life can make a difference. It can identify and work with problems and potential problems a child may have. Early Intervention can:

improve developmental and educational growth for children and their families.
help children with delays become more independent and functional.
reduce the need for later special services for children and their families.
help develop a system of support for the children and their families and answer families' questions about child development.
