OHIO EARLY INTERVENTION - HELP ME GROW | OHIO DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
Coordinates services and provides support for families with children with developmental delays. Through this program, parents and caregivers with concerns about their child’s development can have their infant or toddler evaluated by an interdisciplinary team at absolutely no cost to the family. Children are evaluated for delays in the areas of adaptive, cognitive, communication, physical, and social-emotional development using appropriate diagnostic tools. A service coordinator will work with the family as well as other service providers to develop a coordinated plan. This is a voluntary program that seeks to empower parents to better care for their special needs children.
