What they say about themselves
Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.
- EarlySteps provides early intervention services to infants and toddlers under three with a medical condition likely to cause a developmental delay, or an existing delay in cognitive, motor, vision, hearing, communication, social-emotional or adaptive development.
- Anyone can make an EarlySteps referral; once the regional System Point of Entry (SPOE) receives it, the family is contacted to begin the eligibility determination process.
- Its published practice manual says screening, evaluation and assessment are always provided at no cost, but ongoing services follow a sliding-scale family cost-participation schedule based on the Federal Poverty Limit for families above 300% FPL — so services are not free to every family.
- The manual guarantees native-language interpreter services (spoken, written or another mode of communication, such as sign language) whenever a family's native language is not English, and covers transition into a local school district's special education (Part B) services at age three.
