Early Childhood Intervention

Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) provides services to families with children (birth to 3 years) who have developmental delays and disabilities in Potter and Randall County.

During the early months of a child’s life, many parents find themselves faced with the realization that their child may have developmental delays. As a parent comes to understand that their child may potentially face a lifetime of trials, a sense of grief may develop. It can become frustrating not knowing where to turn for help:

We can help with:

- Audiology/Hearing
- Vision Services
- Assistive Technology
- Case Management
- Family Education
- Health Services
- Medical Services (diagnostic or evaluation services used to determine eligibility)
- Nutrition Services
- Occupational Therapy
- Physical Therapy
- Speech-Language Therapy
- Infant Massage
- Specialized Skills Training
- Transition to Services Beyond ECI
- Translation/Interpretation

Developmental delays can affect a child’s communication, mobility, or nutritional requirements; things that are required for growth physically and intellectually. Children are referred to services once functional deficits become evident or developmental milestones become delayed by several months. Children are linked to a broad array of services after a full assessment is completed by staff specifically trained in early childhood development. Treatment is tailored to each child’s needs.

Please call us at 806-358-8974 or fax us at 806-359-0506 if you would like to make a referral.
