Early Intervention Services
Designed for Children Birth to Age 5
Supporting Early Skill Development
Early intervention services are designed for children from birth to age 5 who have signs of developmental delay or diagnosed conditions. Through South Carolina’s BabyNet, families have access to a broad scope of professionals across medical, therapeutic, and educational disciplines – ensuring each child receives care tailored to their unique developmental needs.
Coordinated Care
Early intervention brings a wide range of professionals together to support your child’s development.
