The Early Intervention Therapy program provides community-based physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and family support worker services to preschool children who have or are at risk of a developmental delay or disability. These services are available from the time of a child’s birth or after identification of need, until school entry.
Services include screening, assessment, intervention, consultation, education and training to parents and community members, and service coordination. Community agencies provide these services in home, preschool, child care and community settings. The Early Intervention Therapy Program Guidelines provide current information regarding the delivery of Early Intervention Therapy services across British Columbia, based on best practices.
For information about Early Intervention Therapy services in your community, contact your local Ministry of Children and Family Development office.
