Children with developmental disabilities who belong under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) can avail of Early Intervention from birth until three years old or older. People with cerebral palsy or Down syndrome automatically qualify for the service. In some cases, professionals will seek your permission to evaluate your child to determine if they are eligible for the service and develop an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). The service, Early Interventions, allows people to access a wide range of medical, therapeutic, and social services, which includes family counseling and parent support groups.
