Infant Development Program provides consultants who work with families and provide resources, referrals ad support for children, up to age three, with developmental delays or risk factors, which may involve a later diagnosis.

Supported Child Development is a community-based, early intervention program that provides practical information, resources, and strategies for the inclusion of children with disabilities in childcare settings to childcare providers and families.  SCDP consultants assist families to access childcare in their community.

Family Respite provides relief for parents from the daily responsibilities and accompanying stress of caring for children or adults who have a developmental disability.
