The Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County’s Early Intervention Manager can connect families and providers with local resources and help ensure children are in an environment designed to be appropriate, supportive and encouraging.
The Coalition makes services and training available to child care providers to enhance staff’s knowledge and competence in serving children with disabilities or behavioral challenges. Inclusion services include technical assistance and consultation regarding curriculum and teaching strategies, environmental adaptations, and challenging behavioral issues.
Parents and providers looking for information about a child’s development can call the Warm Line and speak directly to the Early Intervention Manager about a child’s needs.
