Michael Day Dreams Alot, Even When Someone is Talking To Him

Early Intervention (EI) Program helps young children ages birth to 3 years old, who are not learning, playing, growing, talking or walking like other children their age. The program works with your family to set meaningful goals for your child and create a service plan to help your child and your family meet those goals. The sooner a child starts an early intervention program, the sooner that child can begin to  learn the skills he/she will need to help lead a normal life. As a caregiver, you should know that Early Intervention services are: 

• Available to all eligible New York City children, regardless of race, ethnicity, income, disability or immigration status,
• 100% Confidential,
• 100% Voluntary,
• Family-centered,
• Provided at no cost to families.

At Better Urban Health, Early Intervention is a referral service. If your child qualifies, we make the referral to one of our direct provider agencies. We then closely monitor your child's progress to ensure that all services are delivered optimally.  If you have health insurance, including Medicaid, it will be used to pay for your child's Early Intervention services. You do not have to pay anything. If you do not have health insurance, we can help you.
