Early Intervention Services
Easterseals provides specialized instruction and pediatric therapies to infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities.
Overview
Our Early Intervention Services provide specialized instruction and pediatric therapies to infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities. These services support brain development during the most critical years of a child’s life. We focus on empowering families and caregivers through coaching, helping them integrate effective strategies into everyday routines across home, daycare, and community settings.
Children may receive support in communication, movement, behavior, and daily living skills. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals, including special instructors, speech-language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and social workers, work together to help children meet their developmental goals in nurturing, familiar environments.
