Early Intervention program

The New York State Early Intervention Program (EIP) is part of the National EIP for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The EIP is established in Article 25 of Public Health Law and has been in effect since July 1, 1993.

To be eligible for EIP services, children must be less than 3 years of age and have a confirmed disability or established developmental delay as defined by New York State, in one or more of the following areas of development: physical, cognitive, communication, social-emotional and/or adaptive.

The mission of the EIP is to:

Identify and evaluate, as early as possible, those infants and toddlers whose health development are compromised and provide for appropriate intervention to improve child and family development.

If found eligible through a multidisciplinary evaluation; EIP services can offer a variety of therapeutic and support services to eligible infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families.
