Early Intervention

Early Intervention: Anticipating, identifying & responding to a child’s needs to maximize healthy development.

Alta Mira Specialized Family Services Inc.’s Early Intervention (EI) services provide families whose child is experiencing a delay in their development or has been diagnosed with a disability or who may be experiencing conditions that could cause a significant delay in their development. Intending to ensure a child reaches their full potential, families receive supports and assistance, including the first step of the process: evaluation.

All children grow and develop at their own pace. Sometimes children have a special developmental need or health concern that may put them at risk for or cause a developmental delay. Early Intervention is anticipating, identifying, and responding to concerns about a baby or toddler’s development to minimize potential adverse effects and maximize healthy development.

Questions or Concerns?

EI services take place within a child’s natural environment. Their natural environment includes a home, child care center, or other places where families and their children feel comfortable.

Children ages birth to 3 years are eligible for EI services. Services include Service Coordination, Development Instruction, Counseling, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Social Work.

Services are provided in Bernalillo and Torrence counties.
