Every state has an early intervention (EI) program to support kids with developmental delays and disabilities. These free programs can offer a range of services, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and more depending on your child’s needs.
Research shows it's important to get your child support as early as possible. States offer EI programs to identify children with disabilities and get them support during crucial times in their development. This is a big help to families who many not have the finances to seek independent help, as EI services are free of charge.
