Early Intervention Awareness Month
A month highlighting the importance of early intervention services for children from birth to age three with developmental delays or disabilities. Early intervention can support autistic children's development and give families guidance early on.
History
Early intervention for infants and toddlers under age 3 is provided under Part C of IDEA. We use March to highlight these services and how families can request an evaluation.
