Developmental Screenings - Early Intervention Services
Children develop at different paces, but there are developmental milestones that children should reach by certain times during the first three years of their lives. When children fail to reach these milestones, parents and other caregivers should consider contacting Early Intervention for an evaluation. The New Jersey Early Intervention System (NJEIS), under the Division of Family Health Services, provides information and services for infants and toddlers, birth to age three, with developmental delays or disabilities, and their families. For more information, visit their website Opens in new window.

Families of children 3 years old and older can receive referrals for assistance from Project Child Find Opens in new window. Call 800-322-8174 for more information. Services for older children are typically provided through the local school district.
