Local Early Steps Offices

Early Steps can provide an evaluation so you can get started learning about early intervention (which may include physical, occupational, speech and/or oral motor therapies) and how to best meet your new baby's needs as he or she grows and learns. Early Steps offers early intervention services for families with infants and toddlers (birth to thirty-six months) who have developmental delays or an established condition likely to result in a developmental delay such as Down syndrome.
