Finding the right support can feel overwhelming. We've gathered trusted community resources to help connect your family with medical providers, early intervention services, educational supports, and local organizations.

Early Intervention & Education
Early Intervention & Education
EarlySteps provides services to families with infants and toddlers from birth through age 3 (35 months) who have a medical condition likely to result in a developmental delay, or who have developmental delays. Children with delays in cognitive, motor, vision, hearing, communication, social-emotional, or adaptive development may be eligible for services. EarlySteps services are designed to improve the family's capacity to enhance their child's development. These services are provided in the child's natural environment, such as the child's home, child care, or any other community setting typical for children between the ages of birth and 3 (35 months).
