Those first few years of your child’s life can be fascinating and full of wonder. Your child is growing and learning more and more every day. Every child does this at their own speed though, and some may need a little extra help to grow and experience this world.
McLeod Early Intervention Services works in cooperation with other agencies to assure available services. These services assist families with medical, developmental, behavioral, growth and financial concerns. Services are coordinated by a team which includes public health, social service workers, occupational and physical therapists, speech therapists, hearing and vision consultants, early childhood educators and counseling services. Any child can be screened for these services.
