Early Intervention

Early Intervention (EI) is for children 0-5 years of age who experience developmental delays and disabilities.  EI provides inclusive support and services that are designed to meet the developmental needs of the children while supporting the families and building on the community resources.  The services vary depending on the child’s needs.  EI is free! 

In Pennsylvania the Department of Human Services and the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) are the entities responsible for Early Intervention Services: https://www.dhs.pa.gov/Pages/OCDEL.aspx
