Developmental Intervention (DI) is available for children with disabilities from birth through 36 months.  DI is family centered, focusing on the overall needs of the family to provide the best developmental environment for the child. 

An Individualized Family Service Plan is required for a child enrolled in an early intervention program.  The DI programs are required through Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) and administered by the Kentucky Department of Health through its First Steps program.

The mission of DI services it to maximize the potential of children who are identified or at risk for delays and intervene in their development.  DI staff are early childhood special education professionals.
