Eligible children have a delay of 25% or more, or show a 1.5 standard deviation below his or her age in one or more developmental areas. Physical or mental conditions that cause known delays may also qualify children for intervention.

Nope! Anyone may refer a family with the parent or guardian’s permission. Parents can also call and schedule an appointment directly.

Screenings are free, and we can bill private or public insurance for therapy costs. Your family resources coordinator (FRC) can help you apply for financial aid if you have costs not covered by insurance.

Screenings are brief evaluations of your child’s development, performed by trained professionals. In-Tot will screen the developmental areas of gross and fine motor, problem solving, communication, social and self-help skills. If the screening reveals any concerns, further evaluation will be discussed.

When a developmental screen reveals a concern, we perform a more in-depth evaluation. These are completed with you (child’s guardian), your child, and early intervention professionals. We also offer a comprehensive list of Early Intervention services to meet the individual needs of each child and family

When your child turns three, early intervention services end and new services and supports may be available. Six to nine months before your child’s third birthday, you and your team, including your FRC, will plan for transition to preschool special education services or other services and supports.
