Early Intervention Program

Enabling Children from Life's Earliest Moments

Children who are birth to three years and are in need of vision, special instruction and occupational/speech/physical therapy can begin in our home-based program. Children can receive all services in one-on-one sessions with teachers and therapists who work together as an interdisciplinary team.

Young students who reach two years of age, may attend the recently expanded center-based program at the Lighthouse. At school, they will be in a small class with up to 10 children, one teacher and two teacher assistants. The group setting fosters socialization, cognition (thinking skills) and physical development.

Parent involvement is not only welcome but encouraged. Parents may utilize many training and support services offered in our new Parent Center.
