Early Intervention Services
Early Intervention Services is a state-funded, early intervention program sponsored by the State of Hawaii’s Department of Health – Early Intervention Section that provides services for children between the ages of birth and three years of age who have developmental delays. Services are provided in each child’s natural environment (i.e., home) with the goal of educating, enhancing, and coaching parents and caregivers to support development within the context of the child’s daily routines and activities.
Early Intervention Services provides:
Development evaluation
This includes gross motor (sitting, crawling, walking), fine motor (using arms, hands), communication (talking, understanding words), adaptive (eating, dressing), social (relationships with others), and cognitive (learning). The evaluation determines eligibility for services.
Development evaluation
