" A Regional Center Sevice Coordinator will come to your home with an Early Intervention Specialist to evaluate your child's development.

With your approval your child will be referred for Home Visits or center-base classes. Early Intervention Teachers will work with your child and with you to assist your child in making proress towards goals you have helped to develop. "
