Available in Lincoln County.
ComServ, Inc. provides these services in Lincoln County to children ages one and two. The services are provided in a licensed setting named A Place To Grow (APTG). The center is currently open from 7:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday. Early Intervention services are funded through Medicaid.
Early intervention focuses on helping eligible toddlers learn the basic and brand-new skills that typically develop during the first three years of life, such as:
-
physical
(reaching, rolling, crawling, and walking); -
cognitive
(thinking, learning, solving problems); -
communication
(talking, listening, understanding); -
social/emotional
(playing, feeling secure and happy); -
self-help
(eating, dressing).
If an infant or toddler has a disability or a developmental delay in one or more of these developmental areas, that child will likely be eligible for early intervention services through the NC Infant-Toddler Program. These services will be tailored to meet the child’s individual needs and may include:
-
Assistive technology (devices a child might need)
-
Audiology or hearing services
-
Speech and language services
-
Counseling and training for a family
-

Services may also be provided to address the needs and priorities of the child’s family. Family-directed services are meant to help family members understand the special needs of their child and how to enhance his or her development.
