Child Development Early Intervention
While all children grow and
develop in unique ways, some children experience delays in their development. The
Potter County Early Intervention (EI) program provides coaching support and
services to families with children with developmental delays and
disabilities. This
process promotes collaboration among parents, services providers, and others
that are significantly involved with the child. Supports and services are
designed to meet the developmental needs of children as well as the needs of
the
family relating to enhancing the child’s development.
