Accomplish More with Undivided Goals: Early Intervention

If your child is under age 3 and has a developmental disability, or if you are worried about a developmental delay, you'll want to enroll your child in California's Early Start program. This program can help your child access services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help your child make progress toward their developmental milestones.

The first step is applying to Regional Center, which coordinates services and funding for the Early Start program. Once your child is a Regional Center client, you can enroll them in Medi-Cal, which provides additional funding for medical services, equipment, and supplies for your child's ongoing care. In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) can be another source of funding for services if your child is eligible.
