If your child is under the age of three and has special
needs, or you are concerned about the way your son or daughter is developing,
your family may qualify for services to support your child's development.
Child development services (also known as early intervention services) are
provided to children birth to three years old who are eligible fore services
through the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Division of
Developmental Disabilities (DDD).
Services typically consist of evaluation, family education and support,
physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and/or
specialized instruction.
Services are based on an Individual Family Services Plan developed by
the family and a team of professionals. Services are provided in natural
environments as appropriate to meet the individual needs of the family and
child. Through the development of a transition plan, services help the child
and family progress from early intervention services into the public school
system.
The Kitsap County Developmental Disability Program currently contracts with the
Holly Ridge Center for Child Development
Services.
