Early
Start Can Make A Difference
The
first three years are an important period of growth for all children.
During this time, infants or toddlers may have a developmental delay
or disability need special help to reach their full potential.
Services and supports that can help your child and family are called
Early Intervention Services. In California,
the program is called Early Start.
If you
are concerned about your child's development, the first step is
to have him or her assessed. You can refer your child or you
can have a professional make the referral for you.
WarmLine
Family Resource Center is the family support part of Early Start
services. We can answer questions you have about Early
Start and let you know where to call to have your child assessed
or where to get services.
And
Beyond...
If
your child continues to need services and support over age three,
WarmLine offers consults and trainings on special education and
other community services.
Please
call us - we're here to help!
