Enrolling your Child in Early Intervention
Children younger than three years of age are eligible for services through early intervention. Please visit Family TIES of Massachusetts to find resources for your child. You can reach out to them without a doctor, and providers will evaluate your child in the home or at a center in your area to figure out what type of support would be best.
School Special Education Resources Packet for Parents and Caregivers
The following packet provides information about the process of getting an individualized education plan (IEP) for your child. Parents should provide a letter to their child’s school requesting an evaluation if they are concerned about their child’s progress. Concerns can also include speech and language delays.
