Letter from the CEO

because everything
is covered in pollen.

everything is covered
in a yellow powder,
but these tips may
help!

It’s not uncommon for parents to be concerned when their baby or toddler does not seem to be

rates, some children experience developmental delays because of disabilities or other at-risk
conditions. Early intervention services provide eligible children up to three years old vital support to
help them thrive and grow. In this webinar, parents will learn about:
• Clinical cues and red flags
• Evaluation and eligibility for early intervention services
• The Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP)
