In order to meet children and their families where they are in their individual journeys, we work with children in a variety of settings including:

• Early Intervention for 0-3 year olds in their home and community settings in Berks, Lebanon and Schuylkill Counties

• School based services for school aged students

Early Intervention for Birth-3 Year Olds

The Pennsylvania Early Intervention program is a state supported network of parents, therapists, educators, and others which builds upon the natural learning opportunities that occur within the daily routines of a child and their family.

Early Intervention:

• Teachers and therapists work within a child’s natural environment to enhance daily opportunities for learning.  This includes seeing a child in their home, daycare, preschool or any other community setting in which the child participates.
