Early Intervention (COVID-19 Contact Sheet)
COVID-19 Precautions (Updated June 24)
The Early Intervention Program is still operating as an essential service and taking precautions to keep our staff and families safe during COVID-19.
- To keep families safe and provide the support and services they need, we have made changes to our process:
- To submit a referral, call the Regional Office in the borough where your child lives directly. Do not fax.
- Individualized Family Service Planning meetings are being conducted by phone. For more information, contact your service coordinator or call your Regional Office.
- Early Intervention Providers are delivering services through teletherapy as much as possible.
