0-3 Disabilities Program
The Early Childhood Center provides services for enrolled families with infants and toddlers who have a diagnosed
physical condition/disability or who have developmental delays. The child is promptly referred to the regional Early Intervention Agency designated by the State Part C Plan to coordinate any needed evaluations to determine eligibility and participate in the development of an Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP).
The 0-3 Disability Program participates in and supports efforts for smooth and effective transition for children who will need to be
considered for services for preschool age children with disabilities.
