Activity 2

Early intervention services support approximately 500 children with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities, from birth to 5 years of age, in both home-based and center-based settings. Driven by the individualized family service plan (ifsp) or the individualized education plan (iep), services are family focused and predicated on the developmental needs of each child. Therapeutic support typically includes speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy and special instruction and takes place in natural learning environments. Families are active members of the planning team and are instrumental in working to ensure that the goals and objectives set forth in the ifsp and iep are met. Programs are based upon the principals of positive practices and creative curriculum is utilized in classroom-based services. The programs are licensed and monitored by the department of public welfare, office of child development and early learning, the department of education and the bucks county intermediate unit.
