Infant & Toddler Connection (ITC) - First Steps: Eligibility

adults and children

Infant &Toddler of Fairfax-Falls Church (ITC) serves children who:

  • Are under the age of 3 years old and
  • Live in Fairfax County or the cities of Fairfax or Falls Church and
  • Meet one or more of the following criteria:
    • Have a 25% or greater delay in at least one developmental area (cognitive, adaptive, receptive, or expressive language, social/emotional, fine motor, gross motor)
    • Have a diagnosed condition that has a high probability of resulting in a developmental delay (examples include but are not limited to Down syndrome, hearing or visual impairment, failure to thrive, etc.)
    • Have demonstrated atypical development (examples include but are not limited to: unintelligible speech, feeding concerns, etc.)

Please contact ITC as soon as you suspect a problem with your child’s development. These developmental checklists for ages birth through 3 years can give you an idea if your child is on track:

Identifying a problem early in a child’s life can help a family obtain the services and supports needed to promote their child’s development. The first few years of a child’s life are a sensitive period in the process of development, laying a foundation in childhood and beyond for cognitive functioning; social and emotional skills; behavior and self-regulatory capacities; and physical health. Infant & Toddler Connection of Fairfax-Falls Church assists families of infants and toddlers birth to 3 with developmental delays and/or disabilities in helping their children learn and develop through everyday activities and routines so that they can participate fully in family and community activities.
