From Screening to Services: Early Intervention Step by Step

• Early Intervention, Services

Early support can open doors. This guide outlines how to move from concerns to evaluation and services in a clear, family-centered way.

If you notice differences in communication, play, or sensory responses, start with your pediatrician or a trusted healthcare provider. Ask about screening and referrals.

An evaluation can connect families to early intervention or school-based services. Keep a simple folder of reports, goals, and notes so everyone stays aligned.

Therapies should be individualized and respectful. Track progress, adjust goals regularly, and celebrate every step forward.
