Who We Are
A program of Horizon Behavioral Health, Early Intervention’s primary mission is to minimize the impact of developmental delays on children and their families through education, advocacy, training, and support to maximize growth and development; to promote family empowerment, and support parents in becoming effective teachers and advocates for their children.
Operating as a developmental model in natural environments, the program offers direct and indirect individualized services. The programs support interagency coordination in the delivery of services to children and their families.
Early Intervention works from the assumption that a natural environment represents the best learning environment for infants and toddlers, parent or caregivers can be the most effective teachers for their children, and active family involvement is important in the early intervention process. It also supports the belief that infants with developmental delays should be able to receive individualized services based on the preferences and unique strengths and needs of each child and family and be provided opportunities to participate in activities of everyday living. A multidisciplinary team approach to assessment and service planning and inter-disciplinary delivery of services recognizes the interrelated nature of developmental issues and is conductive to the development of an integrated plan.
