Depending on the child's needs, the EI team may include a developmental specialist, social worker, physical therapist, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist or other specialty provider.

Any child up to three years of age if he/she:

- Is at risk for developmental delay due to various biological and/or environmental factors.
Services Provided:
