State Early Intervention Programs
You may also have your child evaluated by your state’s Early Intervention
program. This is available to children up to three years of age. Each state’s
program is somewhat different, but it is basically an evaluation of your child with
regard to developmental and speech measurement. If your child is deficient,
your state program prepares a plan for the required therapy to bring your child
to the age-appropriate level. Again, each state’s program is somewhat different
and you will need to learn about the specific details to make an informed
decision. Generally, the cost is considerably less than if you were to seek this
treatment on your own.
After turning three years old, your school system should evaluate and provide
the program required to help your child achieve age-appropriate skills.
