Welcome!

Davis Early Intervention is taking a leap into the 21st century!   It is our goal to provide families involved in our program an easy-to-find source of information regarding the services we provide and to also be a resource if you have concerns about your little one's development.  As an introduction, here is a little about what we do.

The Early Intervention program serves children with qualifying delays from birth until their third birthday.  Your child can be tested at no cost to you.  Early Intervention services are usually provided in the child's home.  Other locations can be used if it is determined that they would better meet the child's needs.  The focus of service is to help parents enhance the development of their infant/toddler with special needs.  An Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is created by the family and staff.  Goals are determined based on the child's current development in all areas.  If your child qualifies, a minimal participation fee will be assessed through the State Department of Health.

Based on the delay/disability the following services may be offered:

Occupational Therapy - for small muscle development
Physical Therapy - for large muscle development
Speech/Language Pathology - for development of speech and language
Nursing - for children with ongoing medical concerns
Developmental Specialist - for children struggling to meet milestones
Speech/Language Specialist - for prelanguage development

All services are based on the needs and goals of the child.  Our philosophy is that the parents are the best teachers for children from birth to three years and so our job is to provide training for the parents so they can help their children reach their goals.  Most services are provided in the home on a monthly basis in order to allow the family time to learn the techniques that will help their child and to practice them together.  Usually, the children progress at a steady rate when the parents are taking a few minutes each day to incorporate the suggestions that we make.

Working together we CAN make a difference for the child and the family.  Thank you for working with us!
