And I want more parents to know: you do NOT have to “wait and see.” Early Intervention evaluations and screenings are FREE, and you do not need a doctor’s referral to request one. There is truly nothing to lose by reaching out. If your child qualifies, you can get support early. If they don’t? You can still walk away with education, resources, strategies to use at home, and reassurance about their development. Would you know how to request an Early Intervention evaluation in your state? #earlyintervention #speechdevelopment #toddlerdevelopment #18monthold #toddlermilestones
