Key Principals of Early Intervention

Your assigned primary service provider will be your main contact with WCBDD. This team member will work closely with you, your Service Coordinator and a core group of Early Intervention team members to provide high quality services.

Please be aware that it is our first priority to provide services and supports that maintain the health and safety of you and your family, our team members, and their families. Due to the nature of service delivery in natural environments, it is extremely important prior to any in-person service that a health screening takes place for anyone in the home and your service provider(s).

What is your Health and Safety Protocol?

Due to the nature of Early Intervention services, coaching and visits can occur in various places and in different ways. Early Intervention focuses on empowering parents to learn and implement strategies within their daily routines. Check out the items below to learn more about coaching and why telepractice is a good option for you and your family.

While enrolled with the WCBDD, you will be provided information regarding the Family Support Services Program. This program is intended to promote family unity by financially assisting and/or find resources to meet the needs of the enrolled individual and supporting the family. This funding source is considered a payer of last resort for items that are therapeutic in nature, therapy co-pays, respite, and more. For more information, check out the link below!

Your provider will be documenting all of your visits to share with you for your own records. We also keep an electronic record of your child's information and documentation. Examples of documentation include communication with you, your IFSP, services and supports, and other documents you have shared with us.

Early Intervention services end when your child turns three or prior if you decide there is no longer a need for services or you move outside of Warren County. When your child is close to turning three, your team will help you through the transition process. This process may look differently for each family. Below are some resources for you to consider as you begin to think about what comes after receiving Early Intervention services!
