Thursday, September 18th at 6:00 pm join Karen Lozaiza, Family Support Coordinator, for an informative session led by the Family Link Regional Early Intervention Collaborative, part of the New Jersey Department of Health. This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the New Jersey Early Intervention System (NJEIS), which supports children from birth to age three who have developmental delays or disabilities.

Whether you're a caregiver, educator, healthcare provider, or community stakeholder, you'll learn:

-What Early Intervention is and why it matters
-How to refer a child and understand the eligibility process
-The range of services available, including therapies and family support
-How services are delivered in partnership with families
-Practical ways to talk about developmental concerns
-Where to turn for help and answers

The goal of Early Intervention is to ensure every family has access to the support they need during the earliest and most critical years of a child’s development.
