Our Early Intervention Program works with infants and toddlers with developmental disabilities and their family members in their homes or other natural environments.
Our team of experts will help you to formulate a plan to address your child’s needs and support you during a challenging time. Our team consists of special educators, physical and occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, child development specialists, behavioral specialists, teachers of the deaf, child development associates, social workers, nurses, and translators.
Families must also agree to participate in the state’s family cost share. The amount of the family cost share is determined by family income.

The group is provided free of charge for children ages 3 and under who are currently receiving early intervention services. The group meets once per week for 8 weeks in both the fall and the spring at our Pillar Elementary School in Livingston. Children and caregivers have the opportunity to trial appropriate positioning equipment and augmentative communication devices and participate in group lessons run by experienced physical, speech and occupational therapists. Through therapeutic play, our groups incorporate communication skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, socialization, sensory integration and positive food experiences.
