An Overview of the New Jersey Early Intervention System
What do you do when you are concerned about the ongoing development of an infant or toddler? We want you to know about the statewide system of supports and services for infants & toddlers with developmental delays called the New Jersey Early Intervention System. An Early Intervention evaluation may be the first step in determining a child's developmental strengths and needs. This assessment can measure whether a child is losing previously acquired skills or if he/she is not keeping up with typical development timelines. The goal of Early Intervention is to partner with families and "coach" them on ways to support their child's development during their everyday activities.
