Early intervention refers to specialized support and services provided to infants and young children—typically from birth to age three—who have developmental delays or disabilities. These services are designed to promote growth and learning during the critical early years of a child’s development.
Early intervention can include speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, developmental instruction, and family support services. The goal is to help children reach important developmental milestones and to empower families with the tools and strategies they need to support their child’s unique needs.
By identifying and addressing challenges early, we can lay the foundation for a child’s long-term success in school, at home, and in their community.
Occupational therapy (OT) for toddlers concentrates on helping little ones develop essential daily living skills through play-based activities, addressing areas like fine motor skills, sensory processing, cognition, social skills, feeding concerns, and self-care. Occupational therapy focuses on helping children with developmental delays develop the skills and independence needed to thrive in their everyday routine.
Physical Therapy (PT) for toddlers focuses on helping children develop and improve gross motor skills such as rolling, crawling, sitting, walking, running, climbing, and jumping. It can help increase coordination, balance, and posture, and can address and help correct concerns with high or low muscle tone. Physical therapy can assist in the recovery of injuries and surgeries and can help provide support for children who have delays in gross motor development.
Speech Therapy (ST) offers a means of supporting and enhancing language development and communication skills for toddlers. Speech therapy for toddlers uses play based interactions to help children with communication delays learn to imitate sounds and words, expand their vocabulary, increase language comprehension, improve articulation, and develop positive social relationships. Speech therapy can also help address feeding and swallowing concerns. Speech therapy is not just about helping kids talk, it’s about equipping them with the language skills and confidence they need to effectively connect to the world around them.
Feeding therapy for babies and toddlers is a specialized intervention designed to help children who struggle with eating—whether due to sensory issues, developmental delays, medical conditions, or behavioral challenges. It’s not just about getting kids to eat more; it’s about helping them eat better and more comfortably. Feeding therapy helps children learn to chew, swallow, and self-feed. It aims to help expand food variety and tolerate a variety of textures. Feeding therapy is typically addressed through either a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) or an Occupational Therapist (OT).
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is one of the most widely used and evidence-based therapies for children with autism and other developmental challenges. It uses a scientific approach to understanding behavior and how it’s affected by the environment. If focuses on identifying behaviors that need to be increased and using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors. ABA is highly effective at developing communication skills, improving social skills, increasing daily living skills, and managing difficult behaviors.
If you suspect your child has autism, don’t wait. Early intervention can have a tremendous impact on developmental outcomes. We offer autism screenings and can connect you to licensed psychologist or developmental pediatrician if a formal evaluation is needed. We can also assist in connecting you to services therapies such as ABA, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and genetic testing.
