Early Steps is Florida’s early intervention system that offers services to eligible infants and toddlers (birth to thirty-six months) with significant delays or a condition likely to result in a developmental delay. Early Intervention is provided to support families and caregivers in developing the competence and confidence to help their child learn and develop.

Early Steps services are based on Early Steps evaluations and your family’s concerns, priorities, and goals. Early Steps uses a Team Based Primary Service Provider approach which aims to empower each eligible family by providing a comprehensive team of professionals from the beginning of services until the age of three. The goal is for the family to receive strong support from one person, provide a comprehensive team of professionals from beginning to end, and for the family to have fewer appointments and more time to be a family. Services are provided to the family and child where they live, learn and play, to enable the family to implement developmentally appropriate learning opportunities during everyday activities and routines.

Child Find offers information and FREE SCREENINGS for children (birth – 5 years) who may have difficulty learning, speaking, playing, seeing, walking, or hearing. Contact Child Find if you think your child might need special help. There is no charge for screenings, regardless of family income. Child Find can help assess your child’s vision, hearing, speech, and developmental skills and then provide referrals and information on relevant programs and community resources.
