Early intervention refers to a range of services and supports provided to infants and young children (typically from birth to age 3) who have developmental delays or disabilities. These services aim to address developmental concerns as early as possible to help the child reach their full potential. Early intervention focuses on various areas such as motor skills, language development, social skills, and cognitive abilities.
Early intervention is important because it helps address developmental delays in young children as early as possible, giving them a better chance to reach their full potential. Providing support during the critical early years can improve developmental outcomes, boost long-term success, and reduce the need for more intensive services later on. Additionally, early intervention supports families by offering guidance and resources to foster a child's growth at home, leading to increased independence and better overall development.
Right Track Consultants offers a free developmental screening and follow-up program for children from birth to three years old. They provide in-home visits to offer developmental screenings, advice on supporting your child's growth, and referrals to local, state, and national resources.
