We work tirelessly and strategically together with everyone important in a young child’s life, from parents to teachers, and from physicians to psychologists, to equitably modernize and prioritize early childhood experiences. We provide expert coaching and consultation, build leadership capacity, incubate innovative ideas, spearhead community collaboration, advocate for policies and funding, and design and pilot programs.
Resource: Early Intervention – Colorado
For children who qualify for EI Colorado services, the program will look different depending on the child's needs and the family's goals. These services can include speech-language support, physical or occupational therapy, assistive technology, and more.
With EI Colorado services, families never have to be alone in addressing a young child's developmental delays or disabilities. EI Colorado services offer a supportive team that helps families get the services their child needs. There is no cost to families for children who are eligible for the EI evaluation or EI services.
Acting Early Gives Children a Strong Foundation to Thrive
All babies and toddlers need support for their development so they can get off to a strong start. Some children need extra support during the important early years.
The brains of babies and toddlers are growing and developing fast! For that reason, it is much easier for young children to learn new skills than it is for older children.
When delays in a child's learning or development are identified early in life and children receive support, they have the best chance to catch up and/or to make significant progress in their development.
