The Early Intervention Program provides services to families and children from birth to 3 years of age who have, or are at risk for, a delay in development, living in Berkley, Dighton, Lakeville, Middleboro, Raynham, Rehoboth, Seekonk, and Taunton. Delays may be in one or more of the following areas: motor, speech and language, cognition, social-emotional, self-help skills, vision, and hearing. Such delays may also be related to medical, biological and environmental risk factors.

Early Intervention services focus on family education, training and support, and recognizing the crucial influence of the child’s daily environment on his or her growth and development. Therefore, Early Intervention staff together with families, assess their child’s developmental needs, and incorporate strategies to meet the family and child’s outcomes in the context of their daily routines. Staff support and encourage the available resources in their community.
