The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a public program for infants and toddlers with special needs. Children with diagnosed conditions that lead to developmental delays (such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, etc.) are eligible for the EIP. Children with no diagnosis who have delays in development may be eligible for the EIP if their delays are serious enough.

If you have concerns regarding your child’s development, you may directly refer your child to the Early Intervention Program (EIP) by calling 311 if you’re in NYC and ask for early intervention. You can also call the New York State Growing Up Healthy Hotline at 1-800-522-5006 or the local Early Intervention Program where your child resides.

Early intervention services in your plan and authorized by the county NYC are provided at no cost to you.
