Infant/Toddler Early Intervention Services
Early Intervention Colorado of Mesa County
(Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act)
The Early Intervention program is for children birth to age three who have a developmental delay or disability. This is a program which is funded by a variety of sources (private insurance, public funds, state and federal dollars, and donations from various organizations, and individuals). Services are accessed through Child Find (970-241-5403) where a multidisciplinary evaluation is done to determine eligibility.
Services are designed around the child and family needs, and concerns and priorities related to the development of the child. Services are provided in natural learning environments (family home, child care setting, playgrounds, or other community settings) and routines. Parent participation is a very important component of the program. Service coordination/case management is provided for every child and family. Depending on the child’s needs, other services may include developmental intervention, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and other areas of expertise.
Anyone who has concerns about a child’s development can call 970-241-5403. For further information regarding Early Intervention Colorado, access the link provided.
