With this year’s legislative change to Early Start eligibility to include infants and toddlers who are “at risk” for a developmental disability, NBRC Early Intervention Service Coordinators sharpen their assessment skills. Infants and toddlers with a significant (33%) delay in at least one developmental area OR who have a combination of two or more risk factors OR who have severe vision, hearing or orthopedic impairments are eligible.

See NBRC’s Early Start page here for more information.
