Chenango County Health: Monitor your child’s growth and development, early help makes a difference
CHENANGO COUNTY - Your child’s growth and development are very important.
If you feel that your child is not meeting the developmental milestones for his or her age, or if you think there could be a concert with the way your child plays, learns, speaks, acts, and moves, talk to your child’s doctor and share your concerns. Don’t wait. Acting early can make a real difference.
The Chenango County Department of Public Health Program called Early Intervention may be able to help you understand those developmental milestones that can be used to observe and monitor a child’s development in the first three years of life to determine if they are on track through the Child find component or suggest that a Multidisciplinary Evaluation may be beneficial to determine the youngster’s possible eligibility for Early Intervention Services.
If you feel concerned about your child’s development, take action. You know your child best.
Early intervention helps children improve their abilities and learn new skills. Take the following steps to help your child if you are concerned about their development. Tell your child’s doctor or nurse if you notice any signs of possible developmental delay and ask for a developmental screening.
If you or the doctor still feel worried, ask for a referral to a specialist, and call your state or territory’s early intervention program to find out if your child can get services to help. As a parent, you can also self-refer. The phone number for Chenango County Early Intervention Program is (607) 337-1729.
What is Early Intervention?
Early Intervention (EI) is the term used to describe services and support that help babies and toddlers (from birth to 3 years of age) with developmental delays or disabilities and their families. EI may include speech therapy, physical therapy, and other types of services based on the needs of the child and family. This program can have a significant impact on a child’s ability to learn new skills and increase their success in school and life. Programs are available in every state and territory. Participation in EI is voluntary and at no cost to the family. The program is family centered and services are provided to the child in natural environments.
Why Early Intervention is Important?
Earlier is better and Intervention works! Intervention is likely to be more effective when it is provided earlier in life. The connections in a baby’s brain are most adaptable in the first three years of life. These connections are the foundation for learning, behavior, and health.
Over time, these connections become harder to change. Early intervention services can change a child’s developmental path and improve outcomes for children, families, and communities. Families benefit from early intervention by being able to better meet their children’s needs from an early age and throughout their lives.
