All babies develop at different speeds. The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a public program funded by New York State and counties for children from birth through 3 years of age who are either suspected of having risk for developmental delay and/or disability. Early Intervention services are provided at no cost to the families. However, health insurance maybe accessed for reimbursement for EIP services. A child's eligibility can only be determined by NYS approved evaluators under contract with the municipality. The EIP does not pay for day care or other fees charged by community settings. The EIP covers the cost of early intervention services only.
