Children under three years old qualify for Early Intervention (EI) if they have a disability or developmental delay. For children aged 3-5, a “school age” early intervention program may be available in their county of residence.
All referred children undergo a multidisciplinary evaluation to determine eligibility for services. In Pennsylvania, a developmental delay is defined as not meeting expected milestones for a child’s age. State regulations require a 25% delay in any tested area for a child to qualify for services.
The evaluation team or a member will review their findings with you. If your child qualifies, an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) will be created.
Your family’s IFSP will outline your child’s current level of functioning, and detail the family’s resources, priorities, and concerns regarding your child’s development. It will also specify the early intervention services required to address your child’s and family’s needs, the location of these services, the expected outcomes/goals, and the strategies and activities to achieve these outcomes.

Sensory play engages one or more of the five senses: touch, sight, hearing, taste, and smell. It is an interactive, hands-on approach used in early childhood education and therapy to stimulate sensory experiences, promote cognitive development, and enhance a child’s understanding of their environment. Kidology offers two state-of-the-art sensory play gyms where we provide Co-Treat, OT, and PT services. Visit our Instagram @kidologyplayspacesouthampton to learn more!

All services can be provided at home or in community settings, such as a family member’s home, child care center, or places parents visit with their children. Services can also take place at facilities or centers where the provider works, in parent-child groups anywhere in the community, and through group developmental intervention for two or more eligible children.
Early intervention services are provided at no cost to families, funded by state waiver programs through OCDEL in Pennsylvania. After age 5, or if preferred before then, Kidology offers services covered by insurance or available for out-of-pocket payment to cover therapy costs.
A transition plan must be created for each child leaving early intervention. Your service coordinator will add this plan to your IFSP. Your child will be evaluated to determine their current abilities and needs. Based on the evaluation, the county program for 3 to 5-year-olds will decide if your child is eligible for special education services. If eligible, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) will be developed based on the evaluation results.
An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is a specialized educational program for children with disabilities, as identified by law, who attend elementary or secondary schools. It ensures they receive tailored instruction and related services to meet their unique needs. This plan is developed after a child transitions from an Early Intervention (EI) program and serves as the next step in providing continued support for their educational development.
