The Montgomery County Infants and Toddlers Program is the local system of early intervention services for children birth through 3 and a half years of age, and their families. When an infant or toddler is suspected of having a developmental delay, a referral is made to the program.
Children are eligible if they meet the following criteria: demonstrate a 25% delay in one of the developmental areas, have atypical development or have a high probability condition that would likely result in developmental delays. The program includes a developmental assessment; a review of family concerns; priorities and resources; meetings with the family to develop an individualized family service plan; service coordination to ensure that the individual and his or her family receive needed services which may include but are not limited to physical therapy, occupational therapy, audiology, health/medical services, nursing services, nutrition services, psychological services including specialized play groups or therapy sessions, counseling, speech and language assistance, special instructional services, transportation, and parenting skills development; and ongoing evaluation of the child's progress and his or her changing enrichment needs.
Services are provided in a family centered practice model where families participate with service providers to learn skills and strategies to support their children's development. All services are provided at no cost. To apply for services, visit https://referral.mditp.org/ or call the Infants and Toddlers Program at 240-777-3997.Interpreters are used to support all languages.
