Early Steps offers early intervention services to infants and toddlers (birth to thirty-six months) with significant delays or a condition that places them at risk of developmental delay. These services are provided by 16 contracted local Early Steps offices accross the state of Florida. Early Steps provides families or caregivers with services to enhance their child's development so they are ready to learn when they enter school. For Early Steps services there will not be a charge, or they will be covered by insurance or Medicaid if applicable.

Early Steps helps infants and toddlers who have special needs to be:

  • Involved in as many of their family's daily activities as possible,
  • Supported in as many of their family's daily activities as possible,
  • Included in playing and learning with children without disabilities on a regular basis.

Early Steps partners with families and caregivers because none of the above can be achieved without you.
