Early intervention is like special education for school-age kids, but it’s for eligible infants and toddlers. It gives them the support they need to make progress in life skills. There are also services for families who care for them.

Through early intervention, babies and toddlers can get services at home or in the community. Different types of specialists work with kids depending on which skills are delayed. Getting services early helps many kids catch up and thrive in school and in life overall.
