Infant Toddler Early Intervention Program (ITEIP)

Part C Services:

Overview

As parents you are the most important people in your child's life. Children grow and change rapidly during their first three years. Think of your child and how he or she is growing. You know your child best. Notice things like how and when your child smiles, sits up, walks, talks, or holds a cup. What you are seeing is how your child is growing through the different developmental stages. When a child has a delay in development, services are available throughout the state. The Washington State Infant Toddler Early Intervention Program coordinates a statewide effort to help families get these services.

When you learn your child has delays, you may have lots of feelings. You may feel scared, you may not believe what has been said, or you may even feel anger. These are not unusual feelings and you are not alone. Other parents have these experiences or feelings as well. There are statewide programs that can help you connect with other parents who have also had these feelings or concerns. You can call the parent support numbers at the end for more information and help.

The ITEIP Program

No single agency is solely responsible for the early intervention services provided in Washington State. The following list defines which agencies provide each required and other related services as defined by the early intervention section of IDEA. Each agency's roles are defined as either provider/payor of the service, coordination of the service, or not a service provider within current eligibility.
