Richland County Health and Human Services Birth to Three Program "Because a child's first three years build a lifetime...we support and empower families to enhance the potential of their child."

Description of services:

The services, which include therapy and service coordination, are provided in the child's natural environment (e.g. home, daycare, etc). Families should be involved and present, to the greatest extent possible, when and where the child receives services. Early intervention services are coordinated with the child's primary health care provider. Team members use their knowledge and skills in a cost effective manner that maximizes developmental outcomes and is uniquely qualified to assess specific developmental areas and skills of young children. Techniques to achieve the child and family's outcomes are embedded into everyday activities.
