• Home Programming including specialized consultations provided by Early Intervention staff
• Information and referral
• Transition planning and coordination for specialized preschools and other services

The K.I.D.S. Program offers home based services, where professionals and parents/caregivers work together as partners to help the child learn and participate as independently as possible in their everyday life.

This apporach focuses on the whole child rather than a specific area of development because development in children does not occur in seperate areas.
