Some early intervention services are provided at no cost to the family. These services include:
- Activities and communication by the service coordinator assigned to the family to coordinate screening for eligibility determination, assessment for service planning, and development/review/monitoring of the Individualized Family Service Plan.
- Assessments.
- Transition planning for families as the child leaves ITC. This may include, but is not limited to, assistance in referral to public school preschool special education services and/or exploring community resources.
Other early intervention services may have a cost to families. Families have several options for paying early intervention fees in a manner that does not create a financial hardship. These options include using private insurance to cover some of the costs and using a sliding fee scale based on income and family size. Families must complete a financial agreement before early intervention services begin so that they fully understand the charges and their responsibility for payment (Facts About Family Cost Share).
