Early Intervention Colorado

Early intervention provides developmental supports and services to children birth through two years of age who have special developmental needs. It can help improve your child̍s ability to develop and learn. It can also help you and your family learn ways to support and promote your child̍s development, within your family activities and community life. In Colorado, the overall system of early intervention is known as Early Intervention Colorado. It is designed to ̱connect̨ a family with early intervention services, such as occupational, speech or physical therapy, to help infants and toddlers grow and develop, and to help their family in this process. It is a voluntary program and does not discriminate based on race, culture, religion, income level, or disability.
