INFANT/TODDLER SERVICES About Us Parents and professionals sometimes feel that a child may have a need for special care and education in his or her early years. An evaluation of an infant or toddler's development can help determine if this feeling is correct. The programs in the Infant/Toddler Services can provide free evaluations of infants and toddlers of ages birth to three who received no prenatal care; had a difficult birth; had medical complications before or after birth; were born prematurely or have a very low birth weight; were born to teenage mothers or mothers over 40; have genetic disorders or birth defects; have been diagnosed as failure to thrive; have feeding or sucking difficulties; have suspected vision or hearing disorders or a history of recurrent otitis media; have a family history of developmental difficulties; or are suspected of having a developmental delay. Programs The programs listed can provide developmental screenings and evaluation which will identify children who need early intervention. Provide infants and toddlers with one to one instruction/interaction by a professional team member in home based and other natural settings. Provide families with quarterly reviews of their child's developmental progress. Loan instructional materials, toys, and adaptive equipment based on a families individual needs. Help families establish and maintain quality adult/child time which will enhance a child's growth and development. Assist with the coordination of referrals to other professionals, physicians, agencies, and support groups. Help families obtain financial assistance, transportation to and from necessary services, and access respite and day care services. Help families determine and understand their child's special care needs. Help prepare families to advocate for their child's current and future education needs. Listen to a families concerns, and support their feelings and reassure families they are doing a good job with their young child.
