About Berkeley Citizens, Inc.
Berkeley Citizens, Inc. (BCI) is a non-profit human service organization that provides individuals with lifelong intellectual developmental disabilities the opportunity to develop and maintain a productive, self-fulfilling life.
We provide case management services for more than 800 people, including early intervention services for children with developmental disabilities, ages newborn to three. Most of the people we serve are children and toddlers who live at home.
BCI also manages and maintains a variety of residential options and an adult day workshop that provides employment opportunities to Berkeley County residents with intellectual developmental disabilities.
“Early Intervention” might be the provider’s way of describing services that they provide to babies or young children. However, it might also indicate that the provider is a vendor for your state’s publicly funded program. This means the services with this provider might be covered by your state!
The first step in accessing these free services from your state is to get an evaluation. The evaluation will help the state determine what services your child qualifies for, if any. You can find your state’s local EI program by clicking here.
When you contact your local center, say “I have concerns about my child’s development and I would like to have my child evaluated to find out if they are eligible for early intervention services.” They will ask screening questions and arrange for an evaluation, which is provided for free.
If you’re not sure where to start, this article lists 6 types of housing to be on the lookout for. Your child’s school and other parents are great resources to find out about potential options. Local groups, like your area’s Arc chapter, autism society, or special needs groups on social media, are good places to find resources as well. For additional help, consider working with a social worker and/or case manager.
