Special Scholars Early Intervention holds a contractual agreement with the New York State Department of Health, Bureau Of Early Intervention, to administer Early Intervention (EI) services. Our program is authorized, regulated, and financially supported by both the New York State Department of Health and the New York City Department Of Health & Mental Hygiene. The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a publicly-funded initiative aimed at providing support to children under the age of 3 who either show signs of developmental delays or are at risk of experiencing disabilities. Determination of eligibility for EIP can only be made by evaluators approved by the state and working under a contractual arrangement. All necessary ei services for eligible children are identified in collaboration with the parent and require authorization from the designated official at the NYC Early Intervention Office. The service coordinator will facilitate the arrangement of service providers, taking into account the unique needs of the child and family, as authorized by the NYC Early Intervention Office. Upon request, EI services can be provided at childcare facilities or other community locations. However, it is the responsibility of parents to cover any associated fees when availing services at these locations. It’s important to note that all EIP services are provided to parents free of charge, although health insurance may be utilized to cover approved services.

Early Intervention is proven to have a positive impact!
