It can help improve your child̍s ability to develop and learn.

In Colorado, the overall system of early intervention is known as Early Intervention Colorado. It is designed to ̱connect̨ a family with early intervention services, such as occupational, speech or physical therapy, to help infants and toddlers grow and develop, and to help their family in this process. It is a voluntary program and does not discriminate based on race, culture, religion, income level, or disability.
