What are Early Intervention Services?
Early Intervention (EI) services are specialized services provided to families in York and Adams Counties with young children (ages birth to three years) who have or are at risk for developmental delay. Early Intervention Services are completely free for eligible young children and their families. This program, provided with funding from the York/Adams Mental Health/Mental Retardation Program, is designed to provide family training and therapeutic services to enhance the child's development according to the family's priorities.

Family-Child Resources offers EI services to eligible families:

Developmental Therapy
Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Speech Therapy
Feeding Services
Behavior Management
Infant Massage

Is My Child Eligible for These Services?
An evaluation to determine if your child is experiencing developmental delay is required to receive EI services. Your child(ren) must be between the ages of birth and three years and have or be at risk for delay in at least one of the following developmental areas:

Gross Motor (crawling, walking)		Fine Motor (use of hands)
Social Skills (sharing, smiling)		Cognitive Skills (thinking)
Adaptive/Self-help Skills (dressing, feeding)		Language Skills (talking, listening)

We advise all families to monitor their child's development on an ongoing basis using a developmental checklist. If you are concerned about your child's development, please discuss this with your doctor.
