Early Intervention Services provide support to infants and toddlers (birth through age two) who have developmental disabilities or are at risk for developmental disabilities. These services enhance a child's development and learning. They also enhance a family's ability to support their well-being.

Early Intervention Services are important because the critical window for development is during the first three years of a child's life. The earlier services are provided, the greater the impact these services have. Additionally, extensive studies demonstrate that providing services early in children's lives often results in fewer resources being needed to support them as they grow older.

• Assistive technology devices and services
