Early Intervention Services 

We offer Early Intervention Services through BabyNet and DDSN. Once eligible, a highly trained Early Interventionist will help to determine the need of your child and family and determine what services are needed to achieve those goals.  

We work with children who have* 

Cerebral Palsy	Genetic Conditions
Developmental delays	Prematurity/Failure to Thrive
Speech and Language delays	Gross motor delays
Sensory Impairments

* pending BabyNet or DDSN eligibility 

Just a few things our Early Interventionists may do: 

~ Referrals to therapists (OT, PT, ST) when needed	~ Monitor developmental milestones and create an individual plan to encourage those skills
~ Linking to doctors or specialists	~ Help you adapt your daily routines to increase your child’s opportunity to learn
~ Linking to support groups and community events	~ Work on your child’s ability to participate in social setting and daily routines at home and in the community
~ Coordination with childcare facilities	~ Working with relatives to understand the needs of your child
~ Help acquire funding when needed	~ Determine when adaptive devices are needed and which professionals can best meet these needs
~ Transition services into the public school	~ Participate in IEP’s

These services are highly individualized to your child’s needs and the needs of your family.  We work in homes and childcare centers – wherever your child thrives! 

Service Coordination 

We offer Service Coordination Services through the SC Department of Disabilities and Special Needs.  Your Service Coordinator will help identify your personal and family needs and gain access to the services available to meet those needs.  From school age through adulthood, we will help you navigate the world of Medicaid and community services.
