Programs for Children and Families / The Early Intervention Program

The Early Intervention Program is a family-centered, statewide program that identifies, locates, refers and evaluates at risk infants and toddlers (0-3 years old). The program serves children who are at risk for delay, diagnosed with developmental delay or have a diagnosed mental or physical condition with a high probability of delay. Intervention services are decided by eligibility criteria. Referrals to this program are generated through many different routes. To seek a referral through your child’s pediatrician, utilize the NYS DOH Early Intervention Program Referral document.
