Concerned About Your Child's Development?

If your child is missing milestones, Early Intervention may be key to their development. We offer a free assessment tool to help you know if your child could benefit from EI services. Or you can contact our partner, Ohio Early Intervention (commonly known as Help Me Grow) to find out if your child is eligible.
