Early Intervention
Easterseals Tennessee's Early Intervention Program provides developmental therapy for young children (birth-5 years old) with developmental delays or disabilities. The goal of therapy sessions is to coach families and childcare providers on how to best use strategies in daily routines to help their child with a developmental delay build skills for playing, communicating, and learning.
Early interventionists have education-related degrees from an accredited college or university and complete specialized trainings regularly to ensure high quality services are provided to families. Easterseals Tennessee contracts with the Tennessee Early Intervention Program to provide this service at no cost to families.
Easterseals offers a free online Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition™ (ASQ-3) that helps you track the development of your child from one month through age 5. This reliable and confidential tool helps identify if children are meeting milestones in five important areas of development: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and person-social.
