What do services look like?

Once your child is determined eligible and in need of Early Intervention services, a Primary Service Provider (PSP) will be selected to work with you and your child in your home and community. Depending on your needs, this interventionist may be a Developmental Specialist, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist or Speech-Language Pathologist. Your PSP will model intervention strategies that can be used throughout your child’s day. Regardless of who is selected to be your PSP, services will be delivered through coaching and teaming and individualized to address your child’s needs and your family’s priorities.
