Early Intervention Services

Sunrise Pediatric Therapy, P. C. is an Early Intervention Provider in Lehigh and Northampton Counties of PA

 While all children grow and develop in unique ways, some children experience delays in their development. Children in Pennsylvania with developmental delays and disabilities benefit from a state supported collaboration among parents, the county and service providers. The Pennsylvania Early Intervention program is designed to help families and caregivers with children facing developmental delays and disabilities from birth to three years old. Early Intervention builds upon the natural learning opportunities that occur within the daily routines of a child and their family. Services are individualized and provide support to the child and family/caregiver in the home and within the community, such as in a daycare setting. Caretakers are involved to learn and understand the services received.

Early Intervention supports and services are intended to enhance the child’s development in one or more of the following areas:

• • Physical development, including vision and hearing

  • Cognitive development

  • Communication development

  • Social or emotional development

  • Adaptive development

If you have concerns about your child's development you may call and make a referral to your County's Early Intervention office:
