Pennyroyal Center First Steps is an early intervention, family centered
program. It is designed to share with caregivers of children, BIRTH TO THREE
YEARS OF AGE, activities they can do with their child to increase or stimulate
their child's development. It also helps families connect with other services,
provides a support system to the family, and coordinates services.
HOW
IS ELIGIBILITY DETERMINED?
Eligibility is based solely on a child's individual developmental growth.
To be eligible for services, he/she must either (1) through an evaluation
be found to have a significant develpmental delay in one or more areas of
his/her development or (2) have a condition that is known to place the child
at risk for a developmental delay. (Developmental delays are defined as
problems that prevent a child from learning or growing like other infants
or toddlers in his/her age range.)
