Early Intervention
What is early intervention?
Early intervention is therapeutic services for children between the ages of birth to three who are at risk for developmental delays or have a pre-existing genetic condition.
You can contact your pediatrician for a referral. Once EBS Children’s Therapy of Georgia has received the referral, we will conduct an in-depth, in-office evaluation. The clinician will write up an extensive report and send it to your doctor. Services will begin once the report is completed.
A speech-language pathologist can assist a child presenting with difficulty with communication, language, and feeding/swallowing. Speech-language pathologists will collaborate with the families and other professionals treating the child to evaluate and implement appropriate interventions for the child to ensure the most beneficial development.
Pediatric occupational therapists utilize early intervention approaches to support and promote the overall development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Practitioners provide caregivers and families with guidance to facilitate proper development of skills included in play, social participation, and activities of daily living. The application of early intervention is used to maximize the potential skill growth through life.
