Early On Michigan provides early intervention services for children from birth to age three who have developmental delays or disabilities. Services are tailored to each child's needs and delivered in natural environments, such as the home or childcare settings.

Being familiar with typical developmental milestones enables providers to identify when a child may benefit from additional support. Regular observation and documentation are key components of this process.

Approaching conversations about developmental concerns requires sensitivity and clarity. Providers should share observations, express concerns compassionately, and offer information about Early On services as a supportive resource.

Once a child is referred, Early On professionals may work with childcare providers to implement strategies within the childcare setting. Open communication and collaboration ensure consistency and effectiveness in supporting the child's development.
