This program embraces a family-centered approach which ensures young children with disabilities and their families the supports and services necessary for the child's growth and development. Families of children ages birth to three who have concerns about their child's development are eligible to apply for this program. Anyone can make a referral for Early Intervention services by calling the Central Referral site Washington County Birth To Three Services at (740)374-4954. Supports and services are unique to the needs of every family. When a
family is referred for services, an evaluation for eligibility is
completed. After eligibility is determined, each family receives a
comprehensive assessment. From this assessment, an Individual Family
Service Plan (IFSP) is formulated which targets the needs of the family and
child. Early Intervention supports and services are provided to families
within natural environments and routines by professional developmental
specialists. Strategies used are designed to build upon the family's
strengths and wishes. Ancillary services such as speech therapy, physical
therapy, occupational therapy, and aquatics are also
available. Typical Partners are an important part of
