Early Intervention

Aspires’ professional Early Intervention staff, representing a variety of disciplines: physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, mental health clinicians,  social workers and developmental specialists, will work in partnership with parents or other caregivers throughout the process of assessment, intake, development of the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), and planning for ongoing services. EI services are provided in the child’s natural environment which could be at home, in a child care program, or other community settings. However due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Aspire has transitioned to include telehealth as part of our program. Aspire continues to offer all early intervention services in a single or blended format. Intakes, assessments and home visits can be held in an in-person or telehealth platform. Our goal is to work with our families, to find the right comfort level while following the state’s guidance for the safety of families and staff, using both in-person and telehealth.
