Early Intervention
With
early identification and intervention, a child has greater
developmental gains and a better outcome. Tresco Outreach and Training
Service (TOTS) provides early intervention services as defined by New
Mexico's Family Infant and Toddler Program(NMFIT).
Despite the fact that there is a direct correlation between early
identification and improved development, parents with concerns about
their children are often told not to worry. Remember, parents know
their children best and are in the best position to observe and report
what their child is doing. They also have a sense of how well their
child is doing. Sometimes they are satisfied, other times they are
worried.
Who is Eligible?
Children, birth to three, may be determined to be eligible for services in one of several ways:
· Are at risk for developmental delay
· Exhibit an established biological, medical or environmental risk of developmental delay
· Have an existing developmental delay in one or more of the
following areas: cognitive, speech/language, physical/motor,
psychosocial, and self-help skills
