JCDC Early Intervention Program: Supporting Your Child’s Development
Overview
The JCDC Early Intervention program offers vital support for families with children from birth until their third birthday who are experiencing developmental delays, disabilities, or diagnosed conditions. We proudly serve families within the Jordan and Canyons School Districts.
What We Offer
- Comprehensive Assessment: We evaluate your child’s health and developmental needs thoroughly.
- Service Coordination: We facilitate collaboration among healthcare providers, programs, and agencies.
- Family-Centric Strategies: We build on your family’s concerns, priorities, and resources.
- Developmental Services: Our services include occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language therapy, special education, and more.
- Condition-Specific Services: Tailored support for conditions like autism, sensory integration issues, feeding, and swallowing difficulties.
These services are a collaborative effort involving parents, community agencies, and professionals, typically conducted in your child’s natural setting, such as home or daycare. Services can also be provided at the Jordan Child Development Center or community areas like parks.
Our Process
Once eligible, your family will collaborate with a team of qualified providers to develop an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). This plan highlights your child’s strengths and needs, alongside your family’s priorities, specifying necessary services and supports. Our services are mandated by federal and state laws under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part C.
Available Services
An IFSP may include:
- Assistive Technology
- Audiological Services
- Communication Services
- Family Training and Counseling
- Health and Nursing Services
- Occupational and Physical Therapy
- Service Coordination and Special Instruction
- Transportation for Service Access
- Vision and Mobility Services
- Family Support Groups
Services are usually provided in natural settings for children, like the family home and child care environments.
