When should you seek
early intervention services?
If you feel your child has a delay in development of any type prior
to the age of five, they can receive Early Intervention Services. You
may get a referral from your child's doctor, a hospital, day care worker,
or public health facility or you can
make a referral yourself by calling the Child Development Services (CDS)
of Maine.
Are there early intervention
services for emotional or behavioral development?
Yes, services are available at the
Children’s Development Services.
The Maine Office of Child and Family Services
provides early intervention services for children with emotional and
behavioral needs. Services include assessments, evaluations, and recommend
therapies.
You can access these services by calling
the OCFS office in your region.
