On-going support may include: - Development Screenings and Updates - Home Activities - Child Development Information - Speech and Language Services - Occupational Therapy - Physical Therapy - Family Resources - Transitioning Supports - Consultative Guidance - Parent Training.

Early intervention (EI) is designed to stimulate development early in life to provide children the opportunity to maximize their abilities.

The team works with you in your home or other places you and your family spend time to develop a coordinated plan called an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).

Early Intervention is part of the Early Childhood department of Developmental Disabilities of Clark County. We provide services for children from birth through two years of age. We also have Service and Support Administrators who work with kids age three to five. Our commitment is to provide quality services for your child and family. We partner with you to promote your child’s participation in daily activities. Parent involvement is crucial in all aspects of the child’s success. Our team is made up of service coordinators, developmental specialists, a speech pathologist, a physical therapist, and an occupational therapist. Each team member has training and experience working with children who have a variety of needs, including hearing and vision loss, Autism, language delays, Down syndrome, limited mobility and more. We will help build your family’s capacity to care for your child and promote his/her growth and development in natural environments. Our program is highly effective, with about 50% of the children receiving our services no longer needing them upon entering preschool. Early Childhood is funded by the Developmental Disabilities of Clark County levy and the State’s early intervention program.

Help Me Grow is a system of supports for pregnant women, caregivers with new babies, and families with young children with developmental delays and disabilities. This system includes Central Intake, Early Intervention (EI) and Early Childhood Home Visiting. • Early Intervention works with families with children birth to age three who have developmental delays or disabilities so that they have the best possible start in life. EI will evaluate and assess a child’s speech, motor, adaptive self-help cognitive and social-emotional skills. The EI program has supported families through these challenges by developing goals, providing strategies and activities families can use to help their children progress with their development and connect the family with additional community resources or medical providers when needed. Additionally, the program continues to collaborate closely with the Infant Mental Health Program through the Greene County Educational Services Center who provides additional support to the EI team and to families, supporting and addressing family challenges due to the additional stressors families continue to face. • Early Childhood Home Visiting • Healthy Families America (HFA) is one of the leading family support and evidence-based home visiting programs in the United States.

It is staffed by a team of Bachelor of Science in Nursing prepared Registered Nurses (RNs). Two full-time RNs are currently serving families and have the capacity to serve more.
