CHILD FIND
Child Find is the primary referral source to the Early Intervention
Program for children ages birth up to age three. Through Child
Find, children who are suspected or at risk for developmental
delay or disability are monitored and screened. The Child Find-Early
Intervention staff works closely with your child's primary care
provider to monitor your child's developmental progress. If a
potentially qualifying disability or delay is identified, your
child will be referred to our Early Intervention Program for evaluation.
EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM
Upon entering the Early Intervention Program, your child will
be evaluated for developmental delay. If your child qualifies,
services for your child can be provided in your home free of charge.
Services include further evaluation if needed, vision and hearing,
speech, physical, and other therapies; child development groups
and family counseling. These services are provided to help your
child grow and develop, and to help you care for your child.
CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS
The Children with Special Health Care Needs Program provides
assistance to families of children with special health care needs
birth through age 21 who need help in accessing various health
care professionals and other community resources. We will also
help you to access appropriate health care coverage such as Child
Health Plus, Family Health Plus and Medicaid. Our Family Outreach
Worker is a Certified Social Worker who will work one-on-one with
you to help you meet your family’s needs.
PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED CHILDREN'S PROGRAM
The Physically Handicapped Children's Program offers financial
assistance to families with children birth to 21 years of age,
who have or are suspected of having a chronic and/or disabling
medical condition. The program is available to Tompkins County
residents who meet the medical and financial criteria.
