Early Intervention

Early intervention means therapies for young children who have disabilities or delays. It can include therapies like speech, occupational, or physical therapies.


Children should start therapies when families or doctors first notice developmental delays. This can help children learn faster and need less help in the future. Parents should talk to doctors and community supports when they notice their children need help.


Babies Can't Wait is an early intervention network for Georgia infants and toddlers. Families can request these services themselves. Call Babies Can't Wait at 888-457-4769

A Note On Language: We use "autistic child" in line with autistic self-advocates. Some prefer "child with autism." We respect everyone's choice.
