Federation for Children with Special Needs
The Federation empowers families so that they have information and resources they need for their children. They work with families with children from birth to adulthood, providing individual assistance, training, and leadership development. They focus on education, early intervention, health care, transitions, children in foster care and group homes, and building strong family engagement to support all children, especially those children with disabilities, those at risk, and those with economic, cultural or linguistic barriers.
Early Intervention
Early intervention supports children under the age of three who are not reaching age-appropriate milestones, diagnosed with certain conditions, or have medical or social histories which may put them at risk for a developmental delay. EI services are meant to help support families and caregivers and to enhance the development and learning of infants and toddlers.
