Early Intervention

Lorain County Early Intervention is a program for parents with children ages 0 – 3 who have a developmental delay or disability. Our Early Intervention Services are a based on the philosophy that you know your child best and are your child’s best teacher. Our Developmental Specialists have extensive background in child development and use a coaching style of interaction. Our priority is to support YOU to become your child’s best teacher. All of our services are provided in the natural environment, during your daily routines, and where you and your child spend time.

Through their regional team meetings, your Developmental Specialist is backed by a team of professionals who can assist in developing strategies and share expertise so that she can share with your family. Early intervention assists children and their families during the most critical developmental changes.
