Early Intervention Programs
Ellisville State School’s Early Intervention Program provides services for infants and toddlers ages birth to three years who have, or who are at risk for, developmental disabilities. Early Intervention offices are located on Ellisville State School campus and 433 Azalea Drive in Waynesboro. The Early Intervention Program provides an array of services designed to enhance the child’s early development through routines-based intervention within the child’s natural environment with emphasis on the parent and/or care-giver as the primary teacher.
Services include special instruction, physical therapy, and parent training/coaching. The parent or care-giver is viewed as the primary teacher of the pre-school aged child and outcomes are developed with a parent/child/professional team approach. All services are provided in the home and/or community setting according to the child’s Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).
The Early Intervention Program provides children with disabilities opportunities to learn, grow, and play while enhancing developmental skills.
Conditions for admission into the program require the identification of a developmental delay or disability or a risk for delay and an age not to exceed 36 months.
