Understanding Early Intervention and P.L.A.Y. Project

10/1/2021

 
Written by: Amy Kerrigan, Community Education Specialist
Early Intervention and P.L.A.Y. Project are two free services offered at Champaign Co Board of DD. But what are they and how do they help?

Early Intervention (EI) is for children ages birth to 3 years. The EI program provides certified therapists to work with children who are suspected of having a developmental impairment. Therapists also work with parents to help them understand and work with their child's issues.

P.L.A.Y. Project is for children ages birth to 6 years and is essentially an EI program specialized for children suspected of having autism. Here are some important things to remember about EI and P.L.A.Y. Project: 
  • Your child does not need a diagnosis to be evaluated for the programs.
  • Your child does not need a doctor's referral for these programs. Anyone can call us to refer a child for evaluation.
  • Approximately 1 in 3 children who receive EI services before the age of 3 do not require special education services later in life.²

If you want to learn more about EI and P.L.A.Y. Project, contact Jennifer Bradford (Early Intervention Director) at 937-653- 5217.
