First Steps/Point of Entry services are designed for children, aged birth to their 3rd birthday, who are suspected of having a developmental delay or an established risk for having a developmental delay.
Individuals are screened and assessed to determine if a comprehensive assessment across all developmental areas is warranted. Following the comprehensive assessment, service coordinators working through the First Steps/Point of Entry, meet with family members to develop a plan for intervening in the areas identified as needing assistance.
The First Step/Point of Entry service coordinator monitors services and progress toward goals until your child’s 3rd birthday. Once their 3rd birthday occurs, you and your child are provided assistance to transition to needed support from the local school system.
