Early intervention programRCC's Early Intervention services respond to overall family needs and priorities that are set by the families themselves and approved by the child's County Early Intervention Program. The constellation of services that each child will receive reflects that individual child and his/her family's needs. Birth to three, services are family centered and family driven and include options such as home based and center based visits as well as integrated developmental toddler groups.
The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a public program for infants and toddlers with special needs. Children with diagnosed conditions that lead to developmental delays are eligible for the EIP. Children with no diagnosis who have delays in development may be eligible for the EIP if their delays are serious enough. |
If parents have concerns about their child's development, they can call their county Early Intervention Program to ask for an evaluation.
Wayne County - 315-946-5749
Ontario County - 315-396-4439
Seneca County - 315-539-1930
If a child is found to be eligible for services by someone approved to perform this evaluation, parents, county staff, and other team members will make a plan to help the child and family.
Early intervention services authorized by the county are provided at no cost to parents. The county will arrange for the services to be provided and will choose the provider based on the needs of the child and family. A child's health insurance may be used to cover some of the costs. All other costs for EIP services are paid for by the county and New York State.
Early intervention services are provided where it's best for the child - in places such as the child's home, day care, or other community settings. The EIP covers the cost of early intervention services only. The EIP does not pay for day care or other fees charged by community settings.
Roosevelt Children's Center is approved by New York State to provide the following early intervention services:

preschool programThe preschool program focuses on providing a rich and varied learning experience in which each child can experience success. We anticipate, whenever possible, that the children who have special needs will gain in skill development through their interactions with typical children and typical children will develop positive attitudes of caring, friendship and understanding, while the group as a whole will experience many exciting and innovative preschool activities. We will work toward the development of a positive self-concept and self-reliance and independence within each child's ability.

If the child is determined to be eligible for services the CPSE will determine the type of service and will, with parent approval, arrange for a provider.
