Project Description:

The Infant and Toddler Team provides a family-based diagnostic assessment of very young children from birth to 3 years of age who have or are suspected of having developmental delays. approximately 275 children are referred to this unit each year by pediatricians,medical specialists, parents, educators, a variety of allied health professionals, and the New York City Early Intevention Program. Evaluation begins with a diagnostic screening to elicit the family's concerns and identify the problem. It ends with the development of a therapeutic plan tailored to meet the child's needs. Referral is offered for early intervention therapeutic services either on-site or to infant and preschool programs in the community. Follow-up services are offered to all families. As an official New York State and New York city Intervention Evaluation site, ITT or other teams can complete an evaluation on all eligible children in this age range free of charge to the family.
