The Infant Intervention Program provides early intervention services to infants and toddlers (birth to three) and their families who live in the District 19 area. Children are eligible for services if they exhibit a developmental delay in any skill area (physical, emotional, sensory, cognitive, communicative, etc.); if they exhibit atypical behavior; or if they have a diagnosed condition that has a high probability of resulting in a developmental delay (e.g., Downs Syndrome, prenatal substance exposure, etc.). Monitoring is available for children who are not eligible for services but are at high risk for developmental delay. Most services are provided in the child's natural environment (usually the home).
